Representative ‘E3 Easy Wave Red’ and ‘Pretty Flora Red’ petunias (Petunia ×hybrida) drenched with 90 mL aliquots of solution containing deionized water (0 mg·L–1; untreated) or 25, 50, 75, 100, or 200 mg·L–1 ethephon.

The Ohio State University researchers found ethephon substrate drenches to control growth of two seed petunia cultivars.

Press your peat for improved root health! New research from the Fields Lab at UF has identified improved rooting with slightly compressed peat substrates. Container filling can vary in production, but a little compression can support uniformity. doi.org/10.21273/HOR...

high tunnel container plant production

Commercially produced container-grown plants are intensively fertilized with a suite of nitrogen (N) fertilizers. Less than 1/3 is used by the intended crop. Understanding nitrogen fate in container production will better inform crop producers. www.doi.org/10.21273/HOR...
