Growing Organic Plants | Flowers Encyclopedia - 0 views

  •  
    Aluminium sulphate, while not acceptable to real organic purists, is a more environmentally acceptable alternative than using slug pellets to tackle slugs and snails - but look out for other, even greener, products such as aerosol sprays based on yucca extract, and copper barrier strips that give molluscs a minute 'electric shock'.

The Organic Production Crops - 0 views

  •  
    Organic production in the European Union is subject to regulations laid down in 1991. These require that the fertility and the biological activity of the soil must be maintained or increased by the cultivation of legumes, green manures or deep-rooting crops in an appropriate multi-annual rotation and by the incorporation of organic matter including farmyard manure, composted or not, from holdings producing according to the same regulations.

Organic Gardening And Watering Plants | Flower Gardening Help - 0 views

  •  
    Arches, pergolas, pillars and gazebos are particularly spectacular ways of supporting climbers. If you choose plants that don't cling naturally, you'll need to tie them into the structure. Large structures, such as gazebos, are best built with trellis panels for the sides - you can get arches of the same type of construction - so that climbers can really spread themselves out.

    Terms of pest and disease tolerance or resistance. However, as is often the case, most conventionally grown varieties found in supermarkets are generally unsuitable for organic production, due to their susceptibility to pests and diseases.

The Organic Fruit Market and Marketing - 0 views

  •  
    Like all businesses, the production of organic fruit should be market- driven. Before planting anything, all fruit growers should understand the needs and demands of their customers or consumers by doing some basic market research in order to gain an understanding of the market potential and associated marketing possibilities.

Weed Management Organic Fruit Instroction - 0 views

  •  
    Weed management in organic fruit production systems presents a particular problem, because the perennial nature of the crop and lack of opportunities for an annual crop rotation can lead to a build-up of weeds each year. Whilst established top fruit orchards generally have less need for direct weed control, newly planted and establishing orchards, together with most soft fruit plantings, cannot tolerate heavy competition from weeds.

The rhizosphere In Soil | - 0 views

  •  
    The rhizosphere is a zone in the soil oith no definite boundary which is influenced by roots. Living roots change the atmosphere around them by using up oxygen and producing carbon dioxide (see respiration). Roots exude a variety of organic compounds which hold water and form a coating that bridges the gap between root and nearby soil particles. Micro-organisms occur in greatly increased numbers and are more active when in proximity to roots.

Organic Fruit Bearing Varieties - 0 views

  •  
    Emily The earliest strawberry, Emily is a high-yielding variety that can begin cropping as early as late May in favourable conditions (or earlier under protection). Berries are regular and conical in shape, deep red in colour with moderately firm flesh. The flavour is quite sharp and fruit size can be small, particularly in the second year of cropping.

Organic Plant Spacing In Fruit - 0 views

  •  
    Spacing between plants within the row will tend to vary according to the variety grown and training method. Varieties that produce abundant spawn may require spacings of up to 75cm in order to fill out properly, whilst varieties that traditionally produce sparse cane can be planted at a closer spacing of 40-60cm.

Biodegradable Mulches Green Organic Fruit - 0 views

  •  
    Some companies now offer biodegradable starch-based mulches or biomats made from a blend of hair and jute. These are expensive, but a good environmental alternative to plastic mulches as there are fewer problems with disposal. Although many forms are new to the market and still being developed, these mulches are ideal for use during plant establishment and have the benefit of returning some nutrients to the soil during decomposition.

Organic Fruits Cherry Instroction - 0 views

  •  
    Acid cherries generally bloom and fruit later than sweet cherries. The fruits have softer and more 'elastic' skins, which are less prone to cracking, and the trees tend to be more resistant to diseases such as bacterial canker. Morello is the most popular acid cherry grown, although several other varieties such as Nabella, Kentish Red, Montmorency and Flemish Red are also available.

Mutation In Organic Horticulture Plant - 0 views

  •  
    Meristem may form a complete polyploid shoot which, after flowering, may produce polyploid seed. The crossing of a tetraploid and a diploid gives rise to a triploid. Polyploid plants are often infertile, especially triploid, with an odd number of chromosomes which are unable to pair up during meiosis.

    One of the most effective natural predators of gooseberry sawfly are blue tits and great tits, which actively seek out larvae during May and June, once the larvae have reached a 'peckable' size.

The Control Of Moisture In Plants - 0 views

  •  
    The value of organic matter in the conservation of moisture has been discussed previously, except insofar as peat is concerned. The use of peat as a source-of organic matter for improving the physical condition of mineral soils is becoming of increasing importance.

The Growing Potted Flowering Crops - 0 views

  •  
    The floriculture industry is based on the beauty of flowers. At times, it is easy to forget that flowers are plant organs with a specific function. Flowers are the reproductive organs of plants. A flower's function is to produce seeds through sexual reproduction. The seeds become the next generation of plants.

The Design Elements Of Floriculture - 0 views

  •  
    The design elements are the physical characteristics of the plant materials that a designer uses in a floral design. Thorough knowledge of the design elements of line and form (shape), space, texture, pattern, and color is so important because floral designers select and organize these "tools," the design elements, to create beautiful floral designs.

Organic Blackberry Rust In Fruit - 0 views

  •  
    Blackberry rust is an important disease of wild and cultivated blackberries. Severe infections can result in premature defoliation, weak cane growth and reduced yields. The fungus overwinters on crop debris and old leaves. Spores are dispersed in spring by the wind and infect fresh young growth. Mild temperatures, humidity and leaf wetness encourage infection. Leaf resistance to infection increases with age, as the leaves become tougher and more leathery.

The Vegetative Plant In Organic - 0 views

  •  
    The role of the vegetative stage in the life cycle of the plant is to grow rapidly and establish the individual in competition with others. It must therefore photosynthesize effectively and be capable of responding to good growing conditions. Growing rooms with near-ideal conditions of light, temperature, and carbon dioxide utilize this capacity which will reduce with the ageing of the plant (see Chapter 5).

The Tilth Organic Soil In Pant - 0 views

  •  
    The soil surface or seedbed should be carefully managed to produce the required tilth: the structure of the top 50 mm of the soil. Sandy soils are easily broken down to the right size with cultivation equipment. Heavier soils are less easy to cultivate and benefit from weathering to produce a frost 'mould'.
