Outdoor Ornamental Crop Production

Information below focuses on specific issues pertinent to outdoor ornamental crop production.  This section is under construction and will increasingly have more information.  In general, there is very little information on this topic, but we work with growers in CA, FL, CO, TX, MN and WI who grow crops outdoors.

GENERAL
Weed Control:
Weed control in sensitive crops (Altland, USDA-ARS)
Container weed control (Univ. of Tennessee, 2012).

Liverwort Control:
Liverwort control in nurseries

Snail Control:
Economics of snail control/certification

Media Calculations:
Containers and media for the nursery (Oklahoma State University, HLA-6706)

Fertility:
Influence of temperature and time on nutrient release patterns of Osmocote Plus, Nutricote, and Pylyon controlled release fertilizers
Nutrient release patterns of controlled release fertilizers used in the ornamental horticulture industry in South Florida
Comparing the effect of controlled-release, slow release, and water-soluble fertilizers on plant growth and nutrient leaching (2011)
Variation in nutrient release of polymer-coated fertilizers (2005)

Growth Regulators:
Fascination increases growth of 'Rudy Haag' burning bush during container production (Poston et al., 2008).
Timing cyclanilide and cytokinin applications in the nursery to obtain desired lateral branch height in apple and sweet cherry trees (Elfving and Visser, 2006).

Cutting Rooting:
Plant propagation from cuttings using rooting solutions by foliar methods (Kroin, 2009)
​
Grasses:
Bulking and height control of purple fountain grass with plant growth regulators (Owen and Lopez, 2017)

Hydrangea:
​Impact of Augeo, Configure and Florel on Hydrangea branching (Hester et al., 2013).
