Online College of Knowledge Courses on Physiological Disorders, Temperature and Light Management for the Ornamental Greenhouse Industry
Development of online College of Knowledge courses in English and Spanish on physiological disorders, temperature and light management for the ornamental greenhouse industry.
Evaluation of Soft Pesticides
Evaluation of ‘soft’ pesticides for the control of plant parasitic nematoades in cut roses.
Effect of Tank Mixes
This study assessed how tank mixing the commercially available insecticides and miticides, spinosad, abamectin, bifenazata, and azadirachtin affects the control of western flower thrips in a greenhouse experiment.
Evaluation of Biocontrol and Conventional Fungicides for the Control of Phytophthora and Masking of Root Infection Symptoms
Evaluated the efficacy of commercially available biological and conventional fungicides for the management of soil-borne Phytophthora diseases in nursery crops. Tested these fungicides as preventatives and as curatives. Evaluated the potential for masking symptoms of Phytophthora infection.
Potential Risks From Current Use of Imidacloprid on Waxflower to Honey Bees and Other Pollinators
Potential risks from current use of imidacloprid on waxflower to honey bees and other pollinators and suggested alternative best management practices.
Evaluation of Technolopies Pollution Storm Water Runoff
Developed economical solutions to runoff problems through on-site evaluations in nurseries and cut flower fields, evaluated efficiency of Best Management Practices and improved technologies at test site nurseries, and evaluated the use of biofilters as a solution to runoff.
Evaluation of Induced Resistance Thrips and Virus
Determined that inducers could be used without any phytotoxic effects to the plants.
Best Management Practices Clean Water Act
Increased grower access to information on how to come into compliance with the 1987 Clean Water Act regulations.
