Managing Ornamental Plants Sustainably

(MOPS)

Cut flower centre – 6 August 2014

John Atwood, ADAS

Project Leader

MOPS - Developing Integrated Plant Protection StrategiesThe overall objective of this work is to identify pest and disease control options that:

Have the potential to provide sufficient efficacy and benefits against a number of priority pests and diseases identified by the ornamentals sector

Could be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy

Have a clearly identified route to market that is supported by producers

Do not adversely affect plant growth, marketability or have any other adverse effects on crop quality

Specific objectives

1. Identification of potential crop protection products

2. Sucking insects (whitefly, thrips and aphids)

3. Chewing insects (caterpillar, lily beetle and vine weevil)

4. Powdery mildew

5. Disinfectants

6. Novel techniques and targets

6.1 Nematodes

6.2 Hot foam application

6.3 Rust control

7. Phytotoxicity


9

2.1 Glasshouse whitefly (Warwick Crop Centre)

Glasshouse whitefly obtained from an infested commercial nursery and maintained on verbena in a controlled environment room at Warwick Crop Centre

Eight experimental treatments

• Four treatment applications will be made at weekly intervals and numbers of live whitefly adults, eggs and scales will be assessed on selected leaves at differing plant heights

2.2 Western flower thrips (WFT) (ADAS) The WFT laboratory culture and

from research glasshouses at ADAS Boxworth were tested for resistance to spinosad in a preliminary experiment during May

Eight experimental treatments

• Four treatment applications will be made at weekly intervals and numbers of live WFT adults and larvae per flower will be assessed in flower samples

2.3 Peach-potato aphid (Harper Adams University)

The peach-potato aphid culture at Harper Adams was established from a single aphid clone (clone-O) supplied by Rothamsted Research

• Resistant to both carbamate and pyrethroidinsecticides; plots of petunia infested mid-July

• Eight experimental treatments

• Four treatment applications will be made at weekly intervals and numbers of live aphids per plant assessed


10

3.3 Vine weevil (ADAS) Fuchsia erecta cuttings planted

on 1 May 2014 at Darby Nursery Stock

Potted up into 2 L pots at ADAS Boxworth. Substrate -incorporated products added to this and to propagation mix

• Each plant infested with 15 vine weevil eggs from ADAS vine weevil culture

• Ten experimental treatments (Exemptor commercial standard)

• Assessment of the number of live vine weevils per plant will take place in late October

4.1 Powdery mildew on hawthorn (ADAS)

Hawthorn mildew first sprays applied on 30 May at J&A Growers

Powdery mildew present in UT and some treated by end of June

No phytotoxicity so far

Spray period extended 2 weeks to 18 July

4.2 Powdery mildew on PO (STC)

Split plot design using both pansy and aster

Lyndon Mason at the Cut Flower Centre supplied aster plants

Aster potted on, pinched and trial due to run August to October

Pansy seed crop sown

Trial to run August – October to hit peak infection period

Donations of powdery mildew infected aster or pansy appreciated


11

5.1.1 and 5.1.2 Disinfectants against Fusarium and Pythium (ADAS) Disinfectant products

tested against fungi in ADAS Pathology laboratory

Mycelium dip tests on Pythium were done at the end of February

Plate contamination occurred so have new cultures of Pythium and Fusarium growing

• Spore and surface treatment work also planned

5.2 Soil re-setting against Fusarium (ADAS)

Stocks debris with Fusarium wilt and a large volume of nursery soil collected

Soil re-setting to be testing using sealed inoculated containers of soil

Testing three ‘Herbie’ products – food derived solids and a liquid to create unfavourable soil conditions for Fusarium

Anaerobic bacteria ‘starter’ to be tested to see if it speeds the process

6.2 Foamstream against Fusarium and Pythium (ADAS) Foamstream year 1

work completed on 11 March at Boxworth

The Pythium mycelium and Pythium and Phytophthora in plant roots was killed by 2 seconds of exposure

Fusarium mycelium showed some survival


12

6.3 Efficacy against rust (STC)

Antirrhinum and bellis seed crops sown

Trial due to run August – October to hit peak infection period

Donations of rust infected antirrhinum or bellis appreciated

Work planned for year 2

Further trials on melon-cotton aphid control at Harper Adams, carnation tortrix and lily beetle at ADAS

STC rust trial and powdery mildew trials by both ADAS and STC will continue in year 2

Laboratory work on disinfectants moved onto commercial site trials

Further trials on soil re-setting and hot foam treatments

Phytotoxicity trial testing promising products on a wide range of crops

Direct seeded fillers Looking at continuity and vase life of a wide

range as requested by the supermarkets Sown outside and under protection from week

21 to 30 (wanted earlier but let down with seed supply)

Included Ammi visnaga, Anthriscus sylvestris, bupleurum, cosmos, carthamus, dill, euphorbia and ridolfia

So far only the bupleurum, dill and ridolfiahave been harvested

All products are being vase life tested

Alstroemeria trial Looking at the possibility of developing a

‘seasonal’ crop using older, none royalty varieties both outdoors and under protection

Wide range of varieties supplied by Parigro

Planted in week 22 indoors and week 23 outside

First flowers in early July but not long enough to be marketable until week 31 (from protected crop)

Leucanthemum trial

New varieties from Realflor named ‘Real Fancy’, ‘Real Fizzy’ and ‘Real Frilly’

Planted in week 17 as pinched plants

Flowering from week 25 to week 29

Initial vase life tests are encouraging

Need to look at the second year performance to determine the economics of production – need a second round and a good stem price!


16

Zinnia trial Trialling Benary varieties which have performed

well in the US and last year at the CFC

Using ‘Giant’ and ‘Oklahoma’ planted in week 18 and 22 at 64 per sq.m.

Grew away very well initially but now suffering from Xanthamonas bacterial blight

Been cropping since week 26

Vase life testing is in progress and will continue throughout the season

Column stocks trial Looking at the control of Fusarium using 2 and

4 times the label rate (experimental) of a range of chemical drenches

Using Cercobin (thiophanate-methyl), Octave (prochloraz), Plover (difenoconazole), Signum(boscalid + pyraclostrobin) and Switch (fludioxonil and cyprodinil)

‘Centum deep blue’ planted into Fusarium inoculated soil (4 pots of each) in week 29

Too early for any results so watch this space

CFC Trials Summary 2014

‘Seed raised fillers’ trials (outdoors and under protection)

Purpose of trial: To investigate the continuity and vase life of a range of ‘seed raised fillers’.

Seed supplier: Moles Seeds and Ball Colegrave.

Varieties: Ammi visnaga, Anthriscus sylvestris, bupleurum, cosmos, carthamus, dill,

euphorbia and ridolfia.

Planting density: Variable but most thinned to 4 to 6 cms.

Planting date: Week 21 to week 30.

Harvesting date: Dill harvested in week 29, ridolfia in week 30 and bupleurum in week 31.

Results/observations to date: Huge difference in the speed of growth of the different

species with only the first plantings of dill, bupleurum and ridolfia harvested to date.

CFC trials summary

19

Leucanthemum trial

Purpose of trial: To investigate a new range of cut flower Leucanthemum.

Seed supplier: Realflor.

Varieties: ‘Real Fancy’, ‘Real Fizzy’ and ‘Real Frilly’.

Planting density: 16 per sq/m.

Planting date: Week 17 from a well pinched plant.

Harvesting date: Week 25 to 29.

Results/observations to date: Produces very strong stems with a good vase life but

second year performance and economic viability needs to be investigated.

CFC trials summary

20

Alstroemeria trial

Purpose of trial: To demonstrate and determine the viability of a seasonal crop of

alstroemeria both outdoors and under protection using older varieties which do not have

royalties charged on them.

Plant suppliers: Parigo.

Varieties: ‘Apollo’, ‘Avanti’, ‘Bonanza’, ‘Candy’, ‘Dana’, ‘Flaming Star’, ‘Friendship’, ‘Golden

Delight,’ ‘Nina’, ‘Orange Supreme’, ‘Pink Sensation’ and ‘Tanya’.


Planting date: Week 22 under protection and week 23 outside.

Harvesting date: Some short stems flowering in early July but no stems of marketable

length until week 31 (from the protected crop).

Results/observations to date: Obviously too early to fully assess the full potential of this

crop but most of the varieties have established well and look as if they will yield large

numbers of good strong stems.

CFC trials summary

21

Zinnia trial

Purpose of trial: To demonstrate a range of zinnia which have been shown to be suitable

for cut flower production in the US trials and try to enhance the vase life.

Plant supplier: Benary.

Varieties: ‘Giant’ and ‘Oklahoma’ (various colours).

Planting density: 64 per sq.m.

Planting date: Week 18 and 22.

Harvesting date: First stems ready in week 26.

Results/observations to date: Plants have grown rapidly and produced a large number of

stems but in the past few weeks they have developed problems which have provisionally

been attributed to Xanthomonas bacterial blight. However, after cutting back the worse of

the infection and spraying with Amistar (azoxystrobin) the crop is now producing some stems

suitable for vase life testing.

CFC trials summary

22

Sedum trial

Purpose of trial: To assess range of standard and unusual varieties and assess the

potential of the crop in the UK.

Plant supplier: Kolster BV.

Planting date: 2010 and 2011.

Harvesting date: July onwards.

Results/observations to date: The crop produces no marketable stems in the first year of

planting but in the second and third years the stem count, weight and length have been very

impressive. The crop is generating quite a bit of market interest and some commercial

plantings have now been made.

CFC trials summary

23

Eryngium trial

Purpose of trial: To demonstrate some of the new ranges of eryngium and investigate their

vase life.

Plant supplier: Armada, Florensis and Kolster BV.

Varieties: ‘Arabian Dawn’, ‘Blue Bell’, ‘Deep Blue’, ‘Magical Blue Falls’, ‘Magical Cloud’,

‘Magical Purple Falls, ‘Magical Star’ and ‘Marbella’.

Planting date: 2011 and 2013.

Harvesting date: June onwards.

Results/observations to date: The ‘Blue Bell’ and ‘Marbella’ flowered first in week 23 with

the ‘Magical’ series and ‘Deep Blue’ still flowering in week 30. There is a big difference in

flower form and yield with some varieties e.g. ‘Marbella’ perhaps being better suited to the

‘higher end’ bouquets. Vase life on all varieties seems to be very good. They are also a

haven for wildlife especially bees and butterflies.

CFC trials summary

24

Aster ericoides trial (September flower)

Purpose of trial: To demonstrate new double varieties grown both outdoors and under

protection and investigate season extension using blackout.

Plant supplier: Armada.

Varieties: ‘Cairo’, ‘Cape Town’, ‘Cassy’ and ‘Chicago’.

Planting date: Overwintered from 2013.

Harvesting date: Very close to flowering in week 31.

Results/observations to date: There is a lot of variability between varieties this year with

some experiencing premature budding. However, looking at the current stage of the crop, a

second flush of flower looks feasible.

CFC trials summary

25

Sunflower trial

Purpose of trial: To investigate new varieties for indoor production.

Seed supplier: Pro Veg.

Varieties: ‘Gallilee Orange’, ‘Happy Face’, ’Helios Flame’, ‘Lemon Party’ ‘Rio Carnival’,

‘Solar Flash’, ‘Stellar Sun’, ‘Superted’, ‘Tall Timber’, ‘Tanya’ and ‘Tavor Flash’ and numbered

varieties PV174, PV 197 and PV199.

Sowing date: Week 27 and 30.

Harvesting date: Not yet flowering.

Results/observations to date: Variable germination which will need to be addressed if

these varieties are to show commercial promise.

CFC trials summary

26

Trachelium trial

Purpose of trial: To demonstrate the varieties currently available.

Plant supplier: Florensis and Nordham Plants.

Varieties: ‘Lake Michigan’ blue, purple and white and ‘Corine’ purple.


Planting date: Week 22 and week 27.

Harvesting date: Very close to being ready in week 31.

Results/observations to date: The plants produced their bud when the stems were quite

short but now look as if they will produce marketable flower stems.

CFC trials summary

27

Column stocks – Fusarium control (pot trial)

Purpose of trial: To investigate the (experimental) level of Fusarium control that can be

achieved when using chemical drenches at x2 and x4 times the recommended label rate.

Variety: ‘Centum’ deep blue.

Planting date: Week 29 (also inoculated with Fusarium at the same time).

Harvesting date: Not yet harvested.

Results/observations to date: Too early to make any observations yet.

CFC trials summary

28

Hardy foliage trial

Purpose of trial: To demonstrate the potential for hardy foliage production in the UK.

Seed supplier: Kolster BV.

Planting date: Mainly spring 2010, plus some in spring 2011. Pruned back very hard during

early March 2014.

Results/observations: Most subjects have established well and marketable stems were

cropped from 2012 onwards. Some commercial plantings have now been made on local

nurseries.

CFC trials summary

29

Other trials

Other small ‘look see’ trials were undertaken with the following plant species: delphinium,

dicentra, gypsophila, leonotis, ornamental peppers and ‘Tiara’ spray carnations. Most of

these will not flower until later in the season.
