Flower production at the Canadian Greenhouse Conference
Flower production
Three separate production sessions cover new varieties, poinsettia production, lighting and substrate.
Popular speaker and consultant, Mel Sawaya shares his expertise on bedding plants and reveals the winners and losers from the 2016 season. Poinsettia-whisperer, Wayne Brown will cover the finer points of growing that tricky Christmas staple.
Fixed incandescent and fluorescent lamps have been traditionally used in greenhouses to deliver long-day lighting but there are now several other lighting options to create long days and regulate flowering. Michigan State professor, Erik Runkle will discuss different kind and colours of LEDs as well as alternative lighting techniques.
Starting at the bottom: Bill Fonteno, Professor of Floriculture in the North Carolina State University Substrates Lab speaks about the importance of managing your substrate before it even gets to the pot.
