One of the characteristics of spring that makes it so challenging is how quickly the season goes. Given this crazy production schedule, are there places you can find to shave off a little time? The cumulative gains from small tweaks may allow you to finish crops more efficiently. You can start production a bit later, saving on labor and energy, or perhaps you’ll take the open bench space to finish another crop. Christopher Currey, an associate professor of horticulture in the Department of Horticulture at Iowa State University, shares some time-saving strategies: https://lnkd.in/gHWCXJF5 #productionpointers #greenhousefinishing #finishingplants #greenhousemanagement #greenhouseproduction #plantproduction #greenhousetips

The southeastern United States has been ravaged this fall by back-to-back hurricanes Helene and Milton, which made landfall less than two weeks and about 250 miles apart on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Pictured here is the aftermath of Helene at Carolina Native Nursery. Here’s how the hurricanes have affected the horticulture industry, how those affected can get assistance and what those in the industry can do to help: https://lnkd.in/gZCEup6y #hurricanehelene #helene #helenerecovery #helenerecoverync #hurricanemilton #milton #miltonrecovery #horticultureindustry #greenhouses

Editor Patrick Coleman provides the trial report from his garden, which he calls the "Hopeful Consumer's Accidental Neglect Trial Garden." If you're wondering what that means, Patrick says that "like many suburban gardens, the HoCAN is managed by two people who yearn for beautiful flower and veg beds but are too overwhelmed by the realities of full-time work, childcare and social responsibilities to give the plants their deserved care — hence, the accidental neglect." https://lnkd.in/gyCXYpPH #trialgardens #newplantvarieties #newplants

A solid integrated pest management program includes guidelines for reading product labels to ensure employee and plant safety. Don’t assume everyone understands all the parts of a pesticide label. Make sure your crew understands the importance of properly reading a pesticide label — proper label reading begins even before the product is purchased: https://lnkd.in/gigWRjXr #pesticides #pesticidelabels #insectcontrolreport #stateofthegreenhousemarket #stateofthenurserymarket #greenhousemanagement #nurserymanagement #greenhouseresearch #nurseryresearch #insectcontrol2024 #insectcontrol24 #insectcontrolresearch #stateofthegreenhousemarket2024 #stateofthenurserymarket2024 #stateofthegreenhousemarket24 #stateofthenurserymarket24

Plant architecture — the spatial arrangement of plant parts, such as leaves, branches and stems — may negatively affect insecticide spray applications by decreasing penetration into the interior plant canopy. Learn how to keep the leaves and stems from affecting insecticide spray treatments in this article from Dr. Raymond Cloyd from the Kansas State University Department of Entomology in our 2024 Insect Control Report: https://lnkd.in/gyMaBdGS #plantarchitecture #insecticides #insecticidespraying #insectcontrolreport #stateofthegreenhousemarket #stateofthenurserymarket #greenhousemanagement #nurserymanagement #greenhouseresearch #nurseryresearch #insectcontrol2024 #insectcontrol24 #insectcontrolresearch #stateofthegreenhousemarket2024 #stateofthenurserymarket2024 #stateofthegreenhousemarket24 #stateofthenurserymarket24
