Back2Basics: Smart Scheduling Tool
Sunday, July 16 • 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Achieving precise ship dates with exact product specs is the keystone of floriculture crop production. Environmental conditions such as temperature and light influence plant growth and development and thus, govern crop finish time. In our research partnership, equations were developed to accurately predict finish times for key annual and potted vegetable crops, and an easy-to-use tool was created for grower use. In this session, we will go over manipulations of flowering time, the science and practical applications of this tool, and future developments.
