Registration now available for free Soil Health Symposiums to demonstrate the principles of soil health on Sept. 25th in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Sept 26th in London, Ontario
A&L Canada Laboratories ["A&L") is hosting the Soil Health Symposium Series to present the latest practical agronomic research that will be valuable to retailers, agronomists and farmers to help them increase the yields and productivity of their farms.
Presentations
Dr. James White, Jr., professor in the Department of Plant Biology at Rutgers University-New Brunswick, New Jersey who will share his research findings on Endophytic Microbes and Their Potential Applications in Crop Management Systems.
A&L Research Lab Director Dr. Soledad Saldias will highlight what the company has learned from its ambitious soil health research program - and what it means for commercial crop production.
A&L Founder and CEO, Greg Patterson will detail the new VitTellus™ Soil Health test and recommendation package. Based on eight years of research and field trials, VitTellus soil health index has shown a 90% correlation between certain soil health factors and crop yields.

Featured Product
XLamp® XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs Set a New Standard in Horticulture Lighting
Designed to deliver exceptional efficiency, unmatched durability and seamless system upgrades, XLamp XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs are optimized for high-performance applications in greenhouses, vertical farms and other large-scale growing operations. These LEDs achieve an impressive typical Wall-Plug Efficiency (WPE) of 83.5% at 700 mA and 25°C. This efficiency allows horticulture luminaires to deliver the same output with less power consumption, translating into lower operating costs and optimized designs that use up to 35% fewer Photo Red LEDs. Cree LED's XP-L Photo Red LEDs, built with advanced S Line technology, set a new standard in sulfur and corrosion resistance, offering an extended lifespan and reliable performance. These features significantly reduce maintenance costs while providing consistent, high-quality lighting throughout critical growth cycles. Additionally, a consistent platform offers easy integration with a drop-in replacement for existing XP-based luminaires eliminating the need for reengineering due to footprint changes. With the same 3.45 x 3.45 mm XP footprint as the XP-G3 Photo Red S Line LEDs, the XP-L Photo Red ensures a hassle-free upgrade for existing designs.
