Managing Diseases in Hanging Baskets
Subject:
Managing Diseases in Hanging Baskets
Abstract:
Growers may often feel that the specter of contagious plant disease is hanging over their heads. This is never so true as when they are producing a crop in hanging baskets. It's not so much that disease management is any different for a hanging basket crop, but that the plants are much less accessible for monitoring or control treatments. An out-of-sight/out-of-mind philosophy is too often practiced with this crop. Special attention is required to produce a healthy crop above the grower's normal line of vision. This attention is important, though, because the health of hanging basket plants will affect the other plants in the greenhouse.
