Lasting, effective solutions to nitrogen (N) loss from container nurseries must
address layers of complexity ranging in scale from whole system nursery management
to gene expression. Group-based On-site Active Learning (GOAL) was developed to

Plants need an adequate level of nutrients to thrive. This publication will help you ensure that your plants receive ample
levels of all nutrients for optimum yield, quality, and aesthetic value.
The central purpose of this study was to formulate and test a
model for securing information from the ornamental horticultural
industry that would provide a basis for curriculum development in
vocational agriculture. In order to develop the model, it was necessary
to accomplish the following:
1. Determine typical occupations in...

We identified and evaluated a phytoseiid predator as a biological control agent of multiple spider mites pests that occur in ornamental nurseries. When comparing species, Neoseiulus fallacis (Garman) had a wider prey range than Galendromus occidentalis (Nesbitt), a higher probability of overwintering than Neoseiulus califomicus McGregor and was equally or...
