Abstract: Poinsettia growers suffer considerable
losses from root disorders of poinsettias. This project will demonstrate the
improvement in quality and reduction in fungicide use that can be achieved through
the use of rootzone monitoring in poinsettia crops. It will also evaluate the
effectiveness of two microbial products for the prevention of pythium in poinsettia
production.
