Disease Control with the Right Fungicide Rotation

Growing ornamental crops is no easy task. Variable growing conditions such as the presence of water on leaves, high humidity levels and temperature changes can lead to rapid disease development. Without careful preparation, crop health can be threatened at any stage in your operation.

Tips for Ensuring Healthy Mum Production

Producing healthy mums can sometimes prove challenging for growers. Because many mums are produced outdoors during the summer months, these crops are highly susceptible to harsh weather conditions as well as both insect and disease pressure.
