Learn about the process of using potassium permanganate solutions to cleanse the air in greenhouses, and explore alternative methods to control ethylene levels. Dr. Sharp also discusses which crops benefit from these scrubbers and advises growers on when not to use them, especially in plants like hops and cannabis.
