Perennial
Solutions: A Grower's Guide to Perennial Production (Professional Book)
by Paul Pilon
Hardcover: 560 pages ISBN: 1883052475
Publisher: Ball Publishing (August 1, 2006) |
| Perennials can be a challenge to
grow commercially, if for no other reason than there is so much variability between crops.
Paul Pilon’s comprehensive book covers all aspects of producing perennial
crops—propagation, fertility, media, pest and disease management, weed control,
height control, and overwintering. And, of course, a large section is devoted to forcing
perennials into bloom to maximize sell-through at retail. Perennial Solutions presents
specific production guidelines for thirty popular crops, including Aster, Delphinium,
Hemerocallis, Hosta, Rudbeckia, and ornamental grasses. Detailed tables also offer
specific recommendations for using plant growth regulators (PGRs), herbicides, forcing
schedules, and more. |
