Staying Ahead of Cool-Season Diseases in Ornamental Greenhouses

As the weather shifts, greenhouses experience lower light levels, colder temperatures and higher humidity, creating the perfect environment for many pathogens to establish and spread. To protect high-value ornamental crops from cool-season diseases, it’s critical to implement an agronomic program featuring a strategic rotation of fungicides.

Protecting Edible Crops from the Ground Up

For operations looking to diversify product offerings, pre-finished containers of fruiting vegetables and herbs are a convenient and efficient choice that can be cultivated alongside ornamental plants during the spring and summer.

Combat Foliar Diseases with a Disease Control Program

Even as we move into fall months, high temperatures and humidity can linger, so it is still important to monitor closely for foliar diseases. Although most pathogens do not cause plant mortality, symptoms can greatly reduce the appearance and salability of infected plants.

Strategies to Stay Ahead of Spring Diseases

While spring is one of the busiest times of year, it is also an essential time to watch for disease pressure that can build with increasing temperatures.
