Weeds are undesirable plants that can interfere with human activities and can hamper crop production and practices. The competition among ornamentals and weeds for space, nutrition, light, and moisture within a restricted area, such as in container production, can be intense and destructive. In response to increasing concerns regarding herbicide in...

The cut flower industry has a global reach as flowers are often produced in countries around the equator and transported by plane or ship (reefer) mostly to the global north. Vase-life issues are often regarded as linked to only postharvest conditions while cultivation factors are just as important. Here, we review the main causes for quality reduc...

The objective of this study was to determine how topdressing or incorporating fertilizer with stratified or mulched substrates could affect the growth of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis ‘Snow Queen’, a popular ornamental plant, and the growth of liverwort (Marchantia polymorpha) and bittercress (Cardamine flexuosa), two common nursery weed species. Five dif...

The objective of this study was to assess the growth of two woody ornamental plants when subjected to different levels of weed competition in four different container sizes, representing different stages of production. Ligustrum (Ligustrum lucidum W.T.Aiton) and Japanese holly (Ilex crenata Thunb.) liners were potted individually into 3.8 L, 11.4 L...

Plant pathogens evade basal defense systems and attack different organs and tissues of plants. Genetic engineering of plants with genes that confer resistance against pathogens is very effective in pathogen control. Conventional breeding for disease resistance in ornamental crops is difficult and lagging relative to that in non-ornamental crops due...

Pollinators are attracted to vibrant flower colors. That is why flower color is the key agent to allow successful fruit set in food or ornamental crops. However, black flower color is the least attractive to pollinators, although a number of plant species produce black flowers. Cyanidin-based anthocyanins are thought to be the key agents to induce ...

The scheduling of plant production is a critical aspect in modern floriculture since nowadays, sales are not oriented toward the recurring holidays as in the past, but always more toward impulse buying, implying a more diverse and constant demand on the market. This requires continuous production, often regulated by precise commercial agreements be...
