  4. Check OSU FactSheets - quarterly

  5. Bulletin 504 – to be revised

  6. Is This Your Production Plan?

  7. Growing Plants Requires Chemical Fertilizer, Pest Control , PGR’s Soil Mix Drainage, anchorage, Stability, air to water ratios Cultural Water, Light, Pruning, Drainage,

  8. What are the Factors That Come Into Play in Accelerated Production? • Air to water relationships in the media. • Temperatures are controlled . • Fertilizer is applied more frequently . • Light may used to supplement nature. • Humidity is controlled . • Pests are controlled.

  9. The more factors you control the higher your cost of prodution becomes.

  10. Healthy Plants 1.Friable soils 2.Proper nutrient balance 3. Proper soil pH – acid vs. alkaline 4.Proper root and crown spacing 5.Ample soil moisture 6.Proper soil temperature 7.Proper light levels 8. Pure air 9. Free of insects and diseases
