About this title

Synopsis

This collection of more than 60 articles from GrowerTalks magazine is written for professional growers by the industry's leading floriculture experts, academic researchers, and professional growers. Articles highlight proven methods and tips on crop control, growth regulation of perennial crops, pest control, and marketing perennial crops. The controversial issue of forcing perennial flowers out of season so customers can buy colorful plants in the spring is discussed, as is specific research into planning for spring flowers. Research into regulating the height growth of perennial crops is also presented, including findings on which plant growth regulators are effective and at what rates.
