Choosing the right substrate depends on the type of plants to be grown, the growing environment and the availability of the substrate.

Of all the root rot pathogens, Pythium is the most common problem that growers experience. Pythium consists of approximately 125 different species, not all of which are plant pathogens, and is found in almost every environment.
