Hi,
My name is alexander white.
I am an agronomist and I have been working for almost 20 years as:
a vegetable grower,
a phytosanitary officer,
a beneficial insect grower,
an agricultural guide in Asia and Africa,
and as a vegetable farm manager.
During my work, I gained a vast knowledge and experience, growing vegetables in nursery, greenhouse, in the field, using pesticides or organic, and also in non-soil substrates (hydroponic).
All that, In few of the biggest seeds and pesticides companies in the world as:
Monsanto, De Ruiter and Biobest.
My aim is to share my knowledge with whomever needs it, like farmers, living in developing countries, on one hand, and home, self-sustained growers, on the other hand.
