AmericanHort Scholars

Stephanie Cruz University of Florida

The AmericanHort HortScholars program sets students in horticulture on a path to success by exposing them to the breadth of the horticulture industry, its opportunities, and its leaders. The program offers a beyond-the-classroom experience, giving insight and awareness of the industry, its supply chain, and where the scholars might find a home for their passion. The focus of the program is on professional development, including attending educational sessions, networking, and working with industry mentors at Cultivate.

AmericanHort is pleased to present the 2021 HortScholars. Get to know them in their own words. Jayden Black Ohio State University Growing plants and loving nature has been my passion for my entire life—for as long as I can remember. Though my first experience consisted of tending to a weed patch in my grandmother’s garden in Midwest, Ohio, it wasn’t long before I was exploring the world of ornamental horticulture. This hunger to learn more and expand my experience naturally led me to pursue a degree in horticulture at Ohio State University, one in Sustainable Plant Systems (Horticulture Specialization) and the other in Agriculture Business. I continuously strive to create sustainable, ecologically functional, and horticulturally enriched landscapes for people to enjoy. This industry combines my creativity, communication skills, and passion for plants, and I am excited to join the industry as a professional following my graduation in May of 2022. My goal has evolved into sharing and exploring my love of plants with others, and I hope to have a career in horticulture production, outreach, education, or state extension. I believe in the immense potential of teaching the world how to grow beautiful plants— inspiring others to make a change. 16 | AmericanHort.org/Cultivate

My interest in cooking and nature evolved into an interest in horticulture when I learned about the health benefits of eating plant-based foods. My interest in horticulture solidified when I interned as a farm hand at Field and Fork, Farm and Gardens at the University of Florida as an undergraduate. I became more curious about protected agriculture after taking several classes on greenhouse production; I have always been fascinated by the many methods a grower can use to manipulate how a plant grows or produces based on controlling the environment in a greenhouse or indoor growing environment. I enjoy the combination of art, nature, science, and business that comes with working in this field. I am currently a graduate student at the University of Florida, focusing on controlled environment agriculture of fruiting vegetables. I hope to build on this experience by learning from other growers so I can be on the path to becoming a grower myself upon my graduation in December 2021.

Maria Fernanda do Amaral Trientini University of Florida As a child who grew up in a big city, I always sought to link people to nature. While earning my Bachelor in Agriculture at the University of Sao Paulo (Brazil), ornamental plant production sparked a special interest in me, as I saw it as a way to bring nature to city dwellers. After graduation, I worked for three years on the professional market in environmental education and outreach. I taught gardening and landscape design for children, associate degree-seeking, and vulnerable populations. I have had the opportunity to experience projects that put together people and plants throughout my career, teaching kids and adults about the importance of the environment, including landscape design, gardening, ornamental plants, and plant care. Since August 2018, I have been working at the University of Florida (UF), where I expect to earn my Master’s degree in

Juan Quijia Pillajo Ohio State University My passion for horticulture was inspired by the tireless work and commitment of my parents to successfully run their ornamental greenhouse business in Quito, Ecuador. I had the opportunity to pursue a degree in agriculture at Zamorano University in Honduras and later a masters at The Ohio State University doing research focused on floriculture crop improvement. Through my professional career I have been very into floriculture industry. I have had the chance to work as grower, technical advisor, and researcher. I am a very curious person with an unquenchable desire to learn. In my last position as technical advisor, I had the chance to get very into the use of beneficial microbes and bio-stimulation for crop production. I realized that although microbial-based products can be an important tool there is a huge need for information to successfully use them. These experiences prompted me to pursue a PhD at The Ohio State University and study plant-microbe interactions and how these interactions can influence plant growth and heath. My commitment has always been to help growers succeed. I want to promote an innovative and sustainable horticulture industry though developing environmentally friendly tools for crop production.

Ankit Singh University of Connecticut I am a doctoral candidate at the University of Connecticut (UConn), where I am studying the technical and financial feasibility of the novel GREENBOX technology (USDA funded). My grandfather was a farmer, and my mother has spent lots of time growing different types of guavas and

roses and continues to grow different vegetables, so I am not surprised that my inherited green thumb manifested in me while researching urban agriculture. Through my research with GREENBOX, I aim to further the knowledge of large-scale urban horticulture that reduces the food transportation network’s strain and provides fresh, nutritious produce to the urban populous. I have also enjoyed growing lettuce for my research, making different salads, and sharing it with my friends and loved ones. I love horticulture that is localized with an educational component, as science shows that early involvement in horticulture increases nutritional messaging effectiveness and encourages people to eat healthier. I enjoy teaching environmental science and scientific writing to college students (freshmanseniors) and being a graduate mentor to high school students, as they take on environmental projects at UConn. I hope to have a career in sustainability or teaching, and I enjoy kayaking, visiting museums, and engaging with the arts in my spare time.

Runshi Xie Texas A&M University I have always been captivated by the biodiversity and improved well-being that plants bring to individuals since I grew up in a subtropical city located in southeast China. My childhood experience has led to my passion for nature and science. I started my undergraduate study in Landscape Architecture, where I was exposed to both nature and plant sciences. Later I joined Texas A&M University for my master’s degree in Plant Breeding, which ultimately leads to my current pursuit of doctoral-level education in Horticulture. I am currently working on a multi-state multidisciplinary project to combat the crapemyrtle bark scale (CMBS), an introduced pest species in the United States. I have been confirming and evaluating the potential threats of CMBS to other important or native crops in the US. My current CMBS life table study aims to improve understanding of insect biology such as the life cycle and mating behavior, ultimately creating integrated pest management programs for CMBS. I believe my research goals would allow me to develop innovative and sustainable pest control and management methods in the horticulture industry.

Greenhouse Strawberry Production to Extend Your Local Market Season

Jennifer Boldt, Joshua Craver

Chieri Kubota, Mark Kroggel

Plants need light and carbon dioxide (CO2). Yet how often do you measure, manage, and optimize these production inputs in your greenhouse? We’ll explore plant responses to light and CO2, identify strategies for supplying supplemental light and CO2, and discuss scenarios when it would make sense to provide supplemental light and/or supplemental CO2 in your greenhouse.

Strawberry production under controlled environment (greenhouse, high tunnels) is a fast growing sector in North America. Production systems range from Dutch-style Venlo greenhouses (for yearround production) to single layer polyethylene tunnels with ‘table top’ production systems (for extended seasonal production). This presentation will review key greenhouse technologies that enable off-season production of strawberries, give you a better understanding of inputs and outputs including systems used for soilless strawberry production. You will also be familiarized with types of strawberry cultivars to get a better understanding of planting materials.

Protecting plant pollinators is commonly viewed as only an insecticide use issue. However, we must think more broadly. Pest management and plant pollinators are two sides of the same coin in urban landscape ecosystems. How does the abundance of flowering plants translate into a decreased number of plant pests? How do pollinators themselves play a critical role in the reduced need for insecticides? This presentation reveals the multi-layered connections between pollen, nectar, and a parade of unsung insect heroes that keep pests in check.

Succession Planning When There is No Succession Todd Downing, Ben Molenda, Chris Cimaglio According to recent surveys, 80% of business owners have no transition plan or have not documented or even communicated a succession plan. It gets even more complicated when there are no family members ready or willing to take over the business. What is clear is that the best business transitions begin early and go smoother when there is a team of people working in tandem to maximize the value of the business and enhance it for a change. We will look at preparation and planning steps, as well as valuebuilding, optimizing and transitional strategies to use when there is no family or heir apparent to take over the reins of your operation. We also will address your emotional readiness and review actions you can start to take today that will make your business and you more transition ready.

Economics of Using PGRs in Landscape on Shrubs Ariana Torres Labor is the single largest expense in agriculture, and the landscape industry is no exception. Labor costs can represent between 30% to 55% of all costs for landscape businesses (IBIS World, 2019). Thus, landscape managers are constantly looking for new technologies to reduce labor expenditures, one of them being PGRs (plant growth regulators) to maintain shrubs in landscapes. This presentation will provide information on labor savings and economic benefits of using PGRs for shrub maintenance. We will also cover how labor wages and pruning demand can affect the economic impact of PGRs.

Getting your voice heard—and respected—can be a big challenge. While technology and social media have made communications more possible than ever, they haven’t made us better communicators. If you find yourself struggling to be heard, succeed in your job, grow your career, or advance your company or product goals, it’s probably time for an internal communications audit. Being a powerful communicator involves controlling the “conversation”—both literal and figurative—using specific behaviors and tactics. This session will address common communication struggles as well as strategies and tactics for self-analyzing and developing your own personal power as a communicator.

How to Successfully Integrate Sustainable Containers into the Market: An Overview of Growing Practices, Marketing, and Profitability. Mark Yelanich, Korey Mensch, Christopher Beytes, Bryce Anderson A new Capgemini Report revealed that 79% of consumers are altering their overall purchasing habits towards sustainable products due to a dramatic shift in social and environmental responsibility. For growers and garden centers, this translates to an opportunity to increase the market penetration of sustainable containers to an audience now craving such environmentally friendly alternatives. The word “sustainable” is broad and therefore not easily defined, understood or translated for practical applications among growers and garden centers. Especially when it concerns black resin containers, which are commonly used to commercially cultivate plants before being sold to consumers who are left figuring out the proper method for disposal. For growers, we’ll shatter the myths that sustainable containers require revamping your current growing operation and are limited in strength and durability. For retailers, we’ll provide better tools to communicate with your growers about sustainable demands, as well as how to effectively market these products to a diverse audience. Overall, you’ll walk away enlightened by the strong value proposition sustainable containers possess. Armed with increased social responsibilities, consumers are willing to pay more for these alternative products, which in turn generates more revenue at retail while contributing to the overall health and well-being of the planet.

However, due to the high-noise level in the media now all of the industry business types—nursery and greenhouse growers, retail garden centers and landscape design build, and more—need to do a better job of telling their story. Impactful companies in the future will develop and communicate their “Green Values” to their neighbors and customers to position themselves as a part of the solution for stronger local communities and economies.

Utilizing IP Rights to Achieve Maximum Value From a Breeding Program Travis Bliss Developing a new plant variety with desirable features can take large amounts of resources and years of dedicated effort. The only way for a breeder to ensure that they are rewarded for those efforts is by securing intellectual property (IP) rights. There are several options covering exactly what can be protected and how, and breeders need to properly consider these options to ensure they are getting the strongest protection and the most value from their efforts. Moreover, simply obtaining IP protection often provides little value, as the real value comes from licensing that IP to other growers. This presentation will examine the types of IP that can be obtained when a new plant variety is developed, the points that should be considered in deciding what IP to obtain, and how those IP rights can be monetized through various licensing scenarios. Skill Level: Intermediate | Education Type: Business Operations

Jean-Pierre Sijmons Now that you are armed with the knowledge of how the different walls work, what plants to use, and how to keep them alive—you will need to have a strong understanding of pricing and fine tuning your installation procedures for the best outcome for your bottom line and your customer.
