Horticulture
Horticultural production demands precision, consistency, and a crop-specific approach.
At Independent Crop Inputs, we work alongside specialty crop growers across Southern Alberta to deliver agronomic support, crop nutrition, and crop protection solutions tailored to high-value horticultural operations.
From fertility planning and disease management to irrigation strategies and in-season crop support, our team understands the unique challenges that come with specialty crop production—and the importance of getting every decision right.
Whether you're producing for fresh market, processing, storage, or controlled environments, ICI is committed to helping growers protect quality, maximize yield, and support long-term field productivity.
Potato production requires a highly managed approach from planting through storage. ICI works closely with potato growers to develop crop programs built around soil health, nutrient efficiency, disease management, and maximizing tuber quality.
Our agronomy team provides support with:
- Fertility planning and nutrient management
- Seed treatment and crop establishment strategies
- Disease prevention and management
- In-season tissue testing and crop monitoring
- Irrigation and nutrient timing strategies
- Quality and storage management considerations
With potatoes being one of the most management-intensive crops in the region, our goal is to help growers protect yield, marketability, and long-term field performance.
Controlled environment production requires precision at every stage. ICI supports greenhouse growers with nutrient programs, crop protection strategies, and technical support designed for consistent plant performance and production efficiency.
Our team works with growers on:
- Water-soluble fertility programs
- Crop-specific nutrient recommendations
- Disease and pest management strategies
- Growth stage nutrition planning
- Root health and plant vigor support
- Production efficiency and input management
Whether producing ornamentals, transplants, vegetables, or specialty crops, we help growers create healthy growing environments and consistent crop performance.
Vegetable production demands timing, consistency, and attention to quality from emergence to harvest. ICI works with growers across a wide range of vegetable crops, helping build programs designed to support crop establishment, nutrient uptake, disease protection, and market quality.
Support may include:
- Crop-specific fertility planning
- Pre-plant and in-season nutrient programs
- Weed, insect, and disease management
- Tissue testing and crop monitoring
- Irrigation support and nutrient timing
- Quality and harvest optimization strategies
From field preparation to harvest, our team works to help growers protect quality, maximize yield, and meet market expectations.
