Carnation is one of the most in-demand ornamental crops, requiring strict adherence to agrotechnological regulations to produce high-quality cut flowers. Professional cultivation of this plant in protected ground involves serious risks: high sensitivity to fusarium and stem rots, as well as the threat of spreading viral infections transmitted through pests and planting material. For an agronomist, understanding the physiological needs of the crop, including light and temperature regimes, as well as skills in working with artificial substrates and plant health improvement methods, are mandatory conditions for maintaining high yield.
This collection gathers materials covering the full cycle of working with floral crops: from theoretical foundations of floriculture and propagation technologies by cuttings to highly specialized methods of plant protection. Readers will find here practical recommendations on agrochemical analysis of substrates, calculation of fertilizer application rates, and the introduction of biological preparations such as Trichoderma. Special attention is paid to phytosanitary control measures, personnel hygiene, and the prevention of epiphytotics. The presented articles will help to systematize the approach to carnation cultivation, optimize the microclimate in greenhouses, and effectively counteract pathogens at all stages of the plant's life cycle.
Greenhouses and covers For gardeners
The article discusses practical recommendations for assembling frame hotbeds using double film to protect thermophilic crops. You will learn about the features of the structure design, materials for the frame, and methods of sealing for effective plant heating
Floriculture For students
Cutting is a reliable method for obtaining high-quality nursery plants while preserving all the cultivar characteristics of the parent plant. The success of the process directly depends on the correct selection of the cutting type, the age of the mother plant, and adherence to the cutting technology.
Floriculture For students
The quality of flowering directly depends on the composition of the substrate and the balance of mineral nutrients. We examine the classification of crops by their nutritional requirements, optimal soil acidity indices, and the role of major macronutrients
Floriculture For students
The article describes the basic principles of production classification of ornamental plants depending on their biological features and agricultural practices. The reader will learn about the criteria for selecting a planting site and the key role of vegetative organs in the life activity of crops
Plant protection For agronomists
Agronomists use biological pest and disease control methods in greenhouses, including the application of trichothecin against powdery mildew of cucumbers and avermectin complex against root-knot nematodes on tomatoes. The article contains regulations for the application of preparations and a comparative analysis of their application methods
Floriculture For students
For intensive floriculture and greenhouses, natural soil requires improvement through the creation of special substrates. The article describes the harvesting and application technologies for sod and leaf soil, necessary for the full development of ornamental plants.
Greenhouses and covers For gardeners
The article presents the technology for mounting film covers on frames, and provides recommendations for creating and installing portable structures to protect vegetables from cold snaps. You will learn about methods for securing film and setting up a rainwater irrigation system
