Cultivate'24 Onsite Guide

A MycoApply® Success Story

“We use MycoApply mycorrhizae to grow the plants used in our municipal installations and baskets (which you have seen surrounding the Columbus Convention Center). We’ve seen a marked improvement in water utilization and drought tolerance. Instead of falling into a midsummer decline, our plants stay in an active vigor state, and are able to tolerate more stress from a lack of water and rebound more easily.

For the money that was invested, it’s a small cost to give us that extra insurance on the crop and maximize our results, for us and our clients.”

Jack Bobo

NC State University

Jack Bobo, a native of the Dallas, Texas, area, completed his undergraduate studies in Horticultural Science at Texas A&M University in 2019. He then pursued a master’s degree in the same field at the University of Georgia, specializing in winegrape pruning techniques. Following his graduation in 2022, Jack embarked on his doctoral journey at NC State University, joining the Horticultural Substrates Laboratory led by Dr. Brian Jackson. His current research focuses on mitigating phytotoxicity linked to engineered wood fiber substrates and cultivating annual crops in peat-free and peat-reduced growing media within greenhouse environments. Scheduled to complete his Ph.D. in May 2025, Jack aspires to continue advancing sustainable growing media and greenhouse production in the green industry.

Forrest Brown

Virginia Polytechnic University

Forrest Brown grew up in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. He and his mother spent a great deal of time outside exploring the wilderness, identifying various trees, shrubs, and flowers native to the region. This further developed into a deep love of horticulture. Forrest has recently completed his Ph.D. at Virginia Tech studying nitrogen fertilizer application and losses from containerized crop production. He hopes to continue researching various aspects of the horticulture industry to help improve production practices.

Rose Elbert Michigan State University

Growing up in Kansas, there were always many opportunities for Rose Elbert to spend time outside amongst plants. Her family shared their love of gardening for both food and flowers, which is where Rose’s love of horticulture began. Rose Elbert is finishing her Horticulture Production undergraduate degree along with a minor in Spanish at Kansas State University this spring. In the fall, Rose will begin her graduate studies on controlled environment herb research under Dr. Roberto Lopez at Michigan State. Rose then plans to pursue her Ph.D. in Horticulture, continuing at Michigan State on the same project. In the future, Rose hopes to be a professor who teaches controlled environment food crop production or plant identification while contributing to the horticulture industry in a meaningful way through research.

Mya Griffith Florida Gulf Coast University

Mya Griffith is an undergraduate at Florida Gulf Coast University. She is graduating in December 2024 with a B.A. in Environmental Studies and a B.S. in Environmental Geology. Her research focuses on the integration of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) and hydroponics and its uses in the horticultural industry. Horticulture has become an unexpected passion for Mya and has brought her a lot of joy and success. She wishes to continue exploring CEA and horticultural techniques as she makes her way to graduate school. Working with plants and growing crops from seed to full bloom has allowed her to harness her love for nature and hope for the future. Using horticultural and CEA techniques, she hopes to help develop a sustainable future for crop production and recreational growers while maintaining high-quality products for consumers.

Samuel Mattia California State Polytechnic University

Samuel Mattia is a Plant Science graduate student at California State Polytechnic. His research interest is in using artificial intelligence and remote sensing to optimize dynamic lighting schedules for crop production in Controlled Environment Agriculture. He works as an Urban Agriculture Technician—Student Assistant (Aquaponics and Hydroponics). Growing up in an agrarian setting in Sierra Leone, his first contribution to the field of agriculture came after a study visit to a farm that suffered the impact of climate action on its vegetable production. He responded by innovating a climate-smart automated indoor growing unit that uses hydroponic technology and pioneered the concept of soilless cultivation and controlled environment agriculture (CEA) in his country. His interests are to pursue a Ph.D., work with top vertical/CEA farms in the U.S. and across the world, and establish an urban farm, leveraging technological innovations in plant science. His passion for academics and entrepreneurship has handed him a B.S. in Agricultural Engineering, 1st Level Master in Open Innovation and Youth Entrepreneurship in Agrifood, an M.S. in Soil and Water Engineering (pending), and founder of an Agritech startup.

Taylor Steele Front Range Community College

Taylor Steele is a recent graduate of Front Range Community College (FRCC) with an A.A. and Horticulture Certificate. Her love of horticulture is deeply rooted in vegetable gardening with her family and friends, which developed into a love of helping make the joys and therapeutic benefits of growing plants accessible to all. She has worked in Special Education for several years, solidifying her commitment to disability advocacy. She has also led the Autistic Student Alliance at FRCC to speak at conferences about neurodiversity and universal design. She will attend the Horticultural Therapy Institute associated with Colorado State University. She hopes to elevate the implementation of horticulture in therapeutic and academic settings and highlight disability advocacy in community and public gardens.

2024 Research Projects

The mission of the Horticultural Research Institute (HRI) is to direct, fund, promote, and communicate horticulture research.

How to Master Process Improvement like Nature

Della Fetzer

Have you ever researched, planned, and implemented a “perfect” process improvement solution only to watch one small glitch cause another, and another, until the whole process falls into disarray? You’re not alone. Process improvement can be a challenging task in horticulture, especially amid pressures to adopt automation and lean manufacturing practices during critical labor shortages and market fluctuations. The solution is simpler than you might think: Observe how NATURE solves problems! Horticulturists intuitively embrace the nature of plants, but it’s easy to overlook that many of today’s production and communication challenges are similar to problems that have already been solved by other non-human organisms in nature. This session will teach participants key lessons, questions, and strategies to rethink how we can better approach problems and align our process improvement efforts with solutions nature has developed and proven over thousands of years.

Stratified Substrates: Growing More with Less

James Owen, Jeb Fields

In this session, our speakers will share their decade-long journey into developing a new substrate management technique which involves strategically layering substrates within a container. What started out as an idea for targeted fertilizer placement and shifted into a practical way to manage substate moisture, has now expanded with many grower benefits. They will share how to utilize stratified substrates to effectively support water and fertilizer efficiency and improve root growth. However, the biggest application of this technology is the ability to reduce peat use by over 50%. The ability to utilize “filler” substrate material without sacrificing the high crop performance of high-quality peat-based substrates is relevant as substrate costs are rising and availability may not always be secure. Growers in attendance will understand the science behind substrate stratification and the benefits. We will also discuss implementation methods and share information on national trials.

Making Sense Out of Microbial Products for My Operation

Sponsored by:

Matthew Krause, Anissa Poleatewich

More and more microbe-based products continually enter the greenhouse market claiming to take care of a variety of production issues. These claims range from the very vague “improves plant growth” to “controls plant diseases or pests.” Furthermore, some contain one microbe (aka microorganism) species while others may contain 10 or more different microbes or microbe strains. How does someone determine what’s real and what’s not from this everexpanding field of microbial products?

This session will provide greenhouse and nursery growers with tools of discernment to help them identify those microorganism-based products that legitimately have the potential to help them prevent or resolve their production issues. We will describe microbe-based biopesticides, plant growth-promotion, and nutrient-access products and their modes of action, as well as examples of how some of them are used successfully in grower programs.

Woody Perennial Stock Plant Management

Robert Geneve

Generally, stock plants for floriculture, fruit, and forestry crops are more intensely managed compared to woody perennial nursery stock plants for cutting propagation. This generally includes a clean, disease-free stock program and nutritional monitoring and management in the stock blocks. One specific aspect of woody plant growth that requires management is the transition from a juvenile to the adult stage of development. There is a general loss in rooting capacity in many woody plants as they transition to the adult developmental stage. Therefore, aspects of stock plant management that will be presented include developing a clean stock program, methods to select and maintain juvenile stock material, and stock plant nutrition. Finally, recent developments in genetically manipulating woody plants will be discussed as they relate to potential benefits to clonally propagated nursery crops.

Young Tree Training: How to Produce Defect-Free Trees

John Palmer

With the push to plant literally millions of trees, it would be good if there were a way to define and determine the difference between a “good” and a “poor” tree. Or is there such a thing? Do growers, landscapers, and arborists, all have the same definition? This session will discuss how growers can grow better trees, with fewer root defects - which shorten tree life, better structure—which leads to less maintenance of trees as they mature, and how trees can be “trained” to ensure a long, healthy, and safe future. The standards created by AmericanHort are the place to start.

Overview of the 2024 National Green Industry Survey

The National Green Industry Survey (NGIS) has been conducted by the Green Industry Research Consortium every 5 years since 1988. The value of this information has repeatedly been recognized by the industry, with partial support provided by HRI.

The NGIS has become a standard source of information on the status of the U.S. nursery and greenhouse industry, particularly since federal budget cutbacks have significantly reduced the amount of information collected on the nursery and greenhouse industry by USDA-National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA-NASS). In 2024, the 8th survey conducted has captured the changes that have occurred since 2019.

Specific primary objectives that will be shared in this session will include an overview of the production, management and marketing practices of wholesale and retail nursery firms related to labor, water, IPM practices, marketing, and other critical issues. In addition, structural changes and trends in the nursery and greenhouse industry will be identified.

True Cost of Your Growing Media

Charles Bethke, Margaret Cullinan

Knowing the actual cost to fill containers is essential to a grower’s bottom line, yet the actual cost of materials presented as complete blends or components for blending is poorly understood. Compressed bales are sold with claimed volume yields of 2, 5, 7 or even 13 times the original compressed volume. The actual yields seldom pan out once the products are expanded, mixed, wetted, and potted. This session will show growers how to accurately measure the actual usable volume of a material and calculate the real cost to fill a container. Additionally, a model will be presented and distributed which accounts for all substrate costs, including handling, storage, machinery, and more.

Interpreting Growing Media, Tissue, and Water Analyses–Extended Session

Troy Buechel

In this practical, 2 hour extended session, you will learn about the importance of laboratory testing for greenhouse crops, how to collect samples, and how to do ’in-house’ testing of pH and E.C. The goal of this session is to increase your comfort level with testing and how to interpret the results so you can make cultural adjustments to avoid crop problems or to develop a corrective action plan.

Attendees will look at examples of test results and learn what those results mean. First, we will look at water tests results, explaining how to interpret the results and how this information can be used to develop a fertility program. Next, attendees will see pictures of actual crop problems, then use media, tissue, and/or water test results to determine the cause of these problems.

Substrate, Water, and Nitrogen Management Lab–Extended Session

Gerry Spinelli, Andrew Ristvey

Irrigation Water quality is an important factor in nursery production. We think of pH as the most important water quality parameter, as we do with substrates and soils; but is it? Do you calibrate your fertilizer injectors often? Do you monitor your substrate’s chemical properties to ensure it is providing the best possible environment for root health and nutrient availability? Are you familiar with the different methods of substrate monitoring? Do you understand the different types of fertilizers available to you and what to base your choice on?

In a 2-hour extended session, Extension Specialists in Nursery Production will give a hands-on program demonstrating the importance of these and other management practices that will increase the control you have over your production systems to ensure that your plant roots have a healthy environment to grow.

• Tour of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden—this 2-acre garden is the largest horticulture project ever undertaken by the Conservatory. Featuring sixteen different interactive experiences celebrating the Ohio landscape, the Garden’s focus is on introducing and connecting children to the natural world, as well as renewing that connection for their parents and caregivers.

• Tour of the Conservatory—the Conservatory’s extensive gardens and art collections pulse with life and bring the truly exotic wonders of nature right to you. Explore over 400 species of plants from around the world.

Free shuttle rides from the Convention Center are available at the Transportation Desk in the Connector beginning at 5:00 PM. Final departure from Franklin Park Conservatory back to downtown Columbus is at 7:30 PM. Open to all attendees.

If you can’t join the tours on Monday, your registration pass will grant you free admission to Franklin Park Conservatory any time during Cultivate.

Unplugged

Monday, July 15 from 8:00–10:00 PM Gaswerks, 487 Park Street

Networking is everything, but sometimes in a sea of thousands of attendees it’s hard to break the ice. Come to Cultivate’s popular Unplugged event where you can relax, be yourself, and meet people with the same passion for plants, ambition for success, and hopes for the future.

Unplugged is also an opportunity for celebration! The GrowerTalks/Ball Horticultural Company/BASF Young Grower Award and Green Profit/The Garden Center Group Young Retailer Award are presented to worthy candidates that demonstrate passion, creativity, leadership, and a desire to excel.

Hosted by the AmericanHort GenNext Community, all emerging professionals are encouraged to make this THE networking event of their Cultivate experience. Of course, all professionals, both the young and young at heart, are welcome.
