Substrate Management

Substrate management refers to the practice of overseeing and maintaining the materials and layers (substrates) upon which organisms, such as plants or microorganisms, grow. This can include controlling soil quality, moisture levels, and nutrient availability to ensure healthy growth and optimal conditions. In broader terms, it’s about managing the foundational elements that support life and ecosystems, ensuring they are healthy and balanced to promote sustainability and productivity. Proper substrate management is crucial in agriculture, horticulture, and ecological conservation.
