Presentation Transcript

  1. Environmental Resource Management Systems for Nurseries, Greenhouses and Landscapes • North Carolina State University • ARS-McMinnville • Tennessee State University • University of Florida • ARS - Ft. Pierce • Clemson University

  2. Environmental Challenges • excess nutrients, pesticide displacement and water movement from irrigation • soil-less substrates, plastic containers and non-permeable groundcovers, • alter and enhance the off-site movement of pesticides and nutrients.

  3. Environmental Challenges • Urban landscape contributes to increased nutrient and pesticides in surface and ground waters.

  4. Objective 1maximization of nutrient and water utilization efficiency • Ted Bilderback - Substrates - NCSU • Stuart Warren - Physiologist - NCSU • Donna Fare - Physiologist -ARS McMinnville • Chris Cantazara - Horticulturalist -TSU

  5. Objective 2mitigation of nutrient and pesticide contaminants in off-site drainage • Chris Wilson - ENTOX - UF • Tom Yeager - HORT- UF • Joe Albano - Physiologist - ARS Ft Pierce FL • Ted Whitwell -Pesticides - CU • Steve Klaine - ENTOX - CU • Mickey Taylor - ENTOX - CU • Bob Polomski - HORT - CU

  6. Objective 3ornamentals to improve water quality in nurseries and urban landscape • Steve Klaine - Environmental Toxicology - CU • Mickey Taylor - Environmental Toxicology - CU • Bob Polomski - Horticulture - Landscape plants - CU • Ted Whitwell - Pesticides/Herbicides - CU

  7. GOALS • Economical methods to improve exiting water quality. • Self-contained and self-remediating with respect to runoff water. • Increase production efficiency. • New markets for ornamental plants, and the development of a better selection of landscape plants. • Transfer technology for implementation of the strategies and methodologies developed in this research.
