About this episode
The California Coast is where a significant amount of the nation’s vegetables is grown, but that bounty doesn’t always come easily.
Frankie Orozco grows for Dole Fresh Vegetables in the Oxnard area, working with his team to grow crops including celery and romaine lettuce.
He works with Redox Bio-Nutrients to provide nutrition for his crops and said the newer technology has yielded favorable results.
“There’s a lot of positive things I have seen using biostimulants,” he said. “Just itself, being able to reduce inputs, whether it be fertilizers or pesticides, and just starting to be more friendly to our soil. Starting to give back slowly, being more sustainable and leaving something good for the next generation to come.”
California produces about 75 percent of the U.S. celery crop, and about 80 percent of the nation’s romaine lettuce.
