• 0:00
  Hello and welcome back to Hydroponics Daily. Today we've got three really interesting
• 0:04
  news stories from horticulture in general and also one amazing giveaway which
• 0:10
  I'm going to hold off until the end.
• 0:12
  So the first one is a bizarre story coming out of the Netherlands out of Holland.
• 0:16
  It's showing a nine hectare modern
• 0:19
  greenhouse has completely collapsed and bizarrely
• 0:24
  no one was injured so if you go on to youtube
• 0:27
  it's in dutch it's the nos news
• 0:30
  service and you'll see pictures of
• 0:33
  this massive venlo greenhouse just collapsed
• 0:37
  before your eyes quite unbelievable really i'm
• 0:40
  watching it now and it sort of like goes down
• 0:43
  almost like a control demolition all
• 0:46
  the glass is smashing definitely one to check
• 0:49
  out i'll i'll put the link in the show notes the
• 0:53
  accident occurred at 4 30 p.m for those
• 0:56
  who think the coincidence doesn't exist people had stopped work for
• 0:59
  an hour earlier that afternoon there's a big saying in health
• 1:02
  and safety health and safety industry should always be wary
• 1:05
  when no one gets injured in a massive accident like this one because yes it's
• 1:10
  great from a insurance perspective and thankfully no one gets hurt but the coincidences
• 1:17
  are often the sort of thing that organizations like the health and safety executive
• 1:21
  in the uk look into a lot of big explosions that say all the refineries that.
• 1:26
  Miraculously no one was injured in
• 1:28
  they always prick the ears up of the authorities and you can make your own.
• 1:34
  You know summations about where that might be so the greenhouse was
• 1:37
  built in 2015 so it's a pretty new greenhouse it
• 1:40
  is a large modern greenhouse there's a
• 1:43
  lot of cleaning up to do a lot of broken glass a lot of plants that
• 1:46
  will have been destroyed the pictures are
• 1:49
  unbelievable a bit like the pictures out of spain when
• 1:52
  there was the hailstone incident earlier in
• 1:55
  the year and so the greenhouse contained three week
• 1:58
  old plants that not yet got into production so i
• 2:01
  think it was potted plants as well so yeah nine
• 2:05
  hectares can you imagine cleaning that
• 2:08
  mess up not cool anyway so i'll
• 2:11
  post a link on for that one straight to youtube
• 2:14
  i think it'll be on yet and then the next
• 2:17
  interesting one is a lighting company cree
• 2:20
  led have launched a new lamp the x lamp xpl
• 2:24
  photo red s line that's easy
• 2:27
  for you to say and the reason i'm noting it
• 2:30
  is because they're making a play they're
• 2:33
  like one of their usps is that growers
• 2:37
  won't have any intellectual property issues with it
• 2:40
  so this is coming back to the whole osram suing
• 2:44
  hawthorne and the growers suing the actual growers who used the hawthorne lights
• 2:50
  the gavita and the agrilux lights and so companies are already jumping on the
• 2:56
  bandwagon here and saying our plants don't worry about but using our lights,
• 2:59
  they'll be intellectual property safe.
• 3:02
  I told you it would be a big story and it would keep on rumbling and there would
• 3:04
  be implications, and this is just one such implication.
• 3:07
  The third story I've got from today, this News Roundup episode,
• 3:12
  is that Russia have closed all their routes for Dutch propagation material.
• 3:17
  No longer can you import Dutch seed and plant material into Russia.
• 3:22
  Announced the Kaliningrad regional director.
• 3:25
  I think Kaliningrad is that little small exclave up in the Baltic,
• 3:28
  and traditionally they would import lots of
• 3:31
  like any country they would import propagation material in from.
• 3:35
  Holland from the netherlands however they
• 3:38
  have said this will not happen because of they're finding
• 3:41
  issues and need to repeatedly quarantine because
• 3:44
  of dodder that's a parasitic plant and thrips on
• 3:47
  the starter material particularly on ornamentals a couple
• 3:50
  of things on this one i'd be very surprised if dodder
• 3:52
  was coming in from holland from the professional greenhouses
• 3:56
  there thrips i can well imagine most chrysanthemum
• 4:00
  plants in north america in america are infected with
• 4:04
  thrips at the propagation stage the western
• 4:07
  flower thrip and so i would imagine thrips are you
• 4:11
  know where are russia going to get their propagation material
• 4:14
  from that is not thrip free if it's not
• 4:17
  holland be interesting to see what countries are going to supply them
• 4:20
  and also the it sort
• 4:23
  of glazes is a great piece of propaganda because it
• 4:26
  glazes over the fact that there are already ornamental
• 4:30
  horticulture was already on the eu sanction list for russia
• 4:33
  so not going to make much of a difference it's mainly
• 4:37
  stopping people exporting dutch material
• 4:40
  in from third party countries a bit like the oil comes in
• 4:43
  from you know goes out to china and then out again things
• 4:46
  like this so you know if you exported from
• 4:49
  holland to turkey and then turkey to
• 4:52
  to russia or belarus or things something like
• 4:55
  that you know if you backdoored the material then this
• 4:58
  has now been cut off thanks to the russian ban so russia.
• 5:01
  Are banning dutch material but it's
• 5:05
  a bit much after the horse is bolted because it's already banned
• 5:08
  due to sanctions from holland holland are
• 5:11
  not particularly happy with russia when they shot down
• 5:14
  that plane do you remember the klm plane that was flying over or
• 5:18
  near the ukraine near ukraine so yeah
• 5:22
  not the best of friends those two and then the big giveaway is just to say that
• 5:26
  at utrema we've been producing a big periodic table of plant health poster and
• 5:32
  it lists all the elements that are important for plant health so the nutrients, the toxins.
• 5:39
  The plants that are benefits the new elements that are beneficial talks about
• 5:43
  them when they will be deficient what are the symptoms of deficiency how to address the deficiency,
• 5:48
  and that all stems from the fact that we sell liquid gold
• 5:51
  in the uk or gold leaf in the us and that's a fertilizer that contains every
• 5:54
  essential plant nutrient but these periodic table posters if you're in north
• 5:59
  america we're going to look at getting some printed but i can send you the pdf
• 6:02
