SOILS, TEMPERATURES AND CO2 FOR CUT CHRYSANTHEMUMS
Subject:
Pennsylvania Flower Growers #175
Abstract:
Since Pennsylvania is ranked third in the nation in standard production, I thought it would be worth while concentrating my talk today on this portion of cut mum production. The subject of standard chrysanthemums is quite an extensive one especially when you consider the adjustments necessary for winter and summer crops, so in considering what to discuss with you today, I have attempted to narrow the field down to what's new and also what are some of the common problems of northern growers as pertains to very specific phases of a standard crop. The areas I would like to cover are: 1. Soils and Soil Maintenance 2. Growing Temperatures in Winter 3. C02
