Genotypic and phenotypic characterization of resistance to fenhexamid, carboxin, and, prochloraz, in Botrytis cinerea is...
Published in Frontiers in Microbiology
Gray mold, caused by Botrytis sp., is a significant disease in Colombian rose crops and its control depends primarily on the intensive use of chemically synthesized fungicides. Despite the importance of this pathogen, there is limited information in Colombian floriculture about molecular taxonomy of species, fungicide resistance of populations and ...
A New Journey from Flower to Vase: Supply chain & digital design for an automated vending business concept
A design study was performed that investigated the feasibility of a business concept combining a unified supply chain with automated vending points in the floriculture sector. In such a business, a direct link between production (growers of flowers) and customers exists. The added value along the chain can then remain with the growers. This could p...
Optimizing callus induction and indirect organogenesis in non-dormant corm explants of Gloriosa superba (L.) via media p...
Published in Frontiers in Horticulture
Introduction Gloriosa superba L. is an endangered ornamental plant of significant medicinal, commercial, and cultural value. This study establishes an efficient protocol for rapid in vitro propagation of this plant species through callus-mediated organogenesis using non-dormant corm explants. Methods Plant tissue culture techniques were employed to...
Loose flower plucker: A women friendly innovative gadget for harvesting loose flowers
In India loose flowers are used for making garlands for worship, religious function, and extraction of bioactive coloring pigments and essential oil. Generally, these flowers are harvested manually and it is a labor-intensive process. There is need for mechanization in harvesting of flowers to minimize the dependence on limited resources such as la...
Optimal germination methods, ornamental plant features, and ex situ conservation of endemic Campanula grandis Fisch & C....
This study aimed to investigate the ornamental utilization, two-year growth performance in natural habitat and cultural conditions, generative production methods, and morphologic and phenologic plant properties of Campanula grandis, which is an endemic species demonstrating ornamental plant potential and needs ex-situ conservation and cultivation. ...
Inhibition of Botrytis cinerea Growth and Suppression of Gray Mold on Petunia Leaves Using Chitosan.
Published in Plant disease
Exogenous application of chitosan has been shown to reduce plant disease severity in food crops; however, less is known about the potential use of chitosan in floriculture. The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of chitosan to suppress gray mold on petunia leaves caused by Botrytis cinerea using in vitro and in planta appr...

Waste managing plan for floriculture plants
Ecuador's Floriculture Industry is essential as one of the biggest flower producers exporting flowers worldwide. However, flower production generates harmful environmental waste, emitting greenhouse gases. Therefore, it is vital to implement sustainable practices. In this document, an analysis of the supply chain will be conducted to provide a clea...
Flower production prospects and sustainability challenges in Ethiopia: A systematic review
Published in Frontiers in Environmental Science
The people, planet, and profit sustainability concerns emerged as a novel concept in the ethical business governance system in the floriculture industry. In Ethiopia, however, the sectoral sustainability concern is in its infant stage. Currently, the floriculture industry faced many criticisms because its improper cultivation greatly worsened socia...
