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

In this first of a two-part series looking at this year’s best-performing varieties from trial gardens around the country, we hear from Chad Miller from the CSU Flower Trial Garden and Sandra Begani from the Trial Gardens at the University of Georgia on their best varieties of 2024 ?? https://lnkd.in/gsngsmbB #trialgardens #planttrials #2024planttrials #newplants #newplantvarieties #csutrialgarden #csuflowertrialgarden #csuresearchflowertrialgarden #ugatrialgardens #universityofgeorgiatrialgardens

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

Plant health can be thought of as a holistic enterprise. What helps with one part often helps with another. Chemical control is essential, but there are several ways to reduce pest pressure without a spray or drench. Cultural controls can help a lot with both managing bacterial diseases and reducing insect pressure.

This autumn, Greenhouse Management magazine and our sister publication, Nursery Management magazine, surveyed North American growers about administering pest management plans, which pests are the most problematic, scouting protocols, pest control budgets and much more. Our survey of more than 100 growers revealed that both the time spent on IPM and the money dedicated to it grew in 2024 relative to previous years. And while concerns over cost are easing, growers still worry about staffing employees who can take control of IPM management, as planning for prevention, rather than cure, becomes more of an industry norm.
