Exploring stratified substrates and soil hydraulics in agricultural science
By
— PostedStratified substrates involve arranging potting media of varying textures in layers within a single container. This structured layering entails placing coarser-textured substrates at the bottom and finer-textured ones on top, mimicking natural soil layers.
PACE courses coming for nursery, greenhouse IPM
By
— PostedThe Nursery Program at the Oregon State University Northwest Extension Center in Canby, Oregon, will soon be offering online courses for Pesticide Applicator Continuing Education Credits (PACE) and to the nursery community at large. The upcoming PACE classes are intended to provide more industry-specific information about strategies for pest management in greenhouses and nurseries, and […]
Pulse electric field technology may be a viable pest control alternative to methyl bromide
By
— PostedPulse electric field (PEF) employs bursts of high-voltage electricity to inactive microorganisms. Primarily used in the food industry, some researchers have reported promising results in nematode and plant disease control (Riga et al. 2020). We are collaborating with Lisi Global to adapt an existing technology for a new use in the ornamental nursery industry.
Program equips growers with knowledge to prevent and diagnose nursery crop diseases
By
— PostedOur mission is to provide nurseries and their teams with the information and resources they need to protect and improve plant health.
