Some of the brightest minds in the industry will share their insight and latest research on vital production topics including growing media, herbicide management and irrigation efficiency.
Nursery owners, managers and key staff will walk away from this conference armed with knowledge that will improve production and boost the bottom line.
Session topics:
Can Substrates Offer Savings?
With abundant supplies of raw materials for making nursery substrates (bark), there often aren't cost savings to be found/had for growers when it comes to purchasing their growing media. However, that has not always been the case. There are however some ideas to consider that may positively affect your bottom line.
Speaker: Dr. Brian Jackson, Director of Horticultural Substrates Laboratory, North Carolina State University
Reducing Weed Management Costs
Join us for a step-by-step guide on how you can develop an annual pre-emergence herbicide rotation for your operation based on your own available labor, plants and nursery setup. Learn more about the results of extensive trials for herbicide efficacy and safety from the Mid-Florida Research & Education Center.
Speaker: Chris Marble, Assistant Professor, University of Florida's Mid-Florida Research & Education Center.
Tom’s research and extension program focus areas are on water quality and management for container nursery production. He is particularly interested in methods to conserve water and remediate agrichemicals from irrigation return flow and other production water.
