Managing weeds in production nurseries [Video]
Weeds or pest plants can have serious economic, environmental and social impacts. Weeds can reduce crop growth, compete for nutrients, water and light, harbour insect pests and pathogens, damage the aesthetics of the plant, reduce the ability to apply crop amendments, and can be one of the most significant input costs to production.
Plant production potting [Video]
The potting operation is a major component of most production nursery operations. Increasing the overall efficiency of the potting process can free up resources for use in other parts of the business and improve plant quality. This video describes the different potting methods used in the nursery industry.
Nursery work flow efficiency [Video]
To achieve maximum efficiency within a potting operation and to minimise production bottlenecks, the ‘work flow’ process from potting to plant placement must be efficient. This video highlights the areas that could be considered when making improvements to the overall productivity of the plant setting out operation.
BioSecure HACCP Personal Disinfestation Procedure [Video]
Hygiene procedures are paramount for the control of plant pests, pathogens and weeds in any production nursery, greenlife market and growing media manufacturer. Effective hygiene and disinfestation protocols must be developed for the successful control of biosecurity issues, in high risk production situations.
