INTRODUCTIONDear Valued Customer,

While we’re enjoying the

beautiful fall weather, it ’s

already time to be planning

what we’ll of fer for the same

season next year. Top of mind

would be “what works well?”

We can conf idently state that

the tried and true Belgian and

Yoder mum lines are going

strong along with new and

improved varieties. Asters

and Montauk Daisies round

out the selection. But we’re

also excited to introduce new

things.

Mystic garden mums! Also

designed to be grown as a

no-pinch program, Mystic adds

new dimension to our of fering

with unique bicolors, as well

as solid colors. The two

Magnum varieties feature the

largest garden mum flowers on

the market!

We are also pleased to

introduce the Kelos Fire

Celosia series for your summer

program. Planted around the

same time as garden mums,

they’ll bloom in July or August

driving traf f ic to your garden

center and keeping consumers

excited about f lowers even

during the hot summer months.

Give Kelos a try!

Don’t forget, Mum Liner Early

Order Discount is Feb 1st , and

Jolly Farmer is here for you,

bringing the world’s greatest

breeding to your doorstep.

MUM CULTURE

32.

T R A N S P L A N T I N G

Transplant rooted cuttings as soon as possible after arrival. Any delay in planting or excessive drying will restrict vegetative growth after transplanting and may cause premature budding. Before you are ready to start planting, have your finished pots completely filled with media. Partially filled pots will wilt sooner and contribute to uneven plants. Make sure media is evenly moist throughout the entire pot, not just the top few inches. Never plant dry cuttings.

Do not bury the crowns of rooted cuttings. Keep soil moist for the first several weeks after transplanting to promote the vegetative growth. You may need to sprinkle your plants hourly for the first few days after moving outside to prevent any leaf burn and excessive wilting. Garden mums require a high light intensity for good quality, ideally in full sun. Maintain at least 6000 foot candles in growing area. Shading will increase plant stretch and the need for plant growth regulators.

When transplanting multiple plants per pot, keep the cuttings closer to the center of the pot to help reduce individual plant separation at finish.

In general, plant cuttings no more than four to five inches apart near the center of the pot. This allows the cuttings to grow together early in the crop and create a stronger plant base.

G R O W I N G M E D I A

For mum production, the growing medium should retain adequate water after irrigation but also drain sufficiently to provide aeration during rainy weather. Many growers use peat based mixes commonly used for bedding plants and baskets. Some growers prefer heavier bark-based mixes. Of the two types of growing medium, bark based mixes are more porous and might require 20% more nitrogen with the feed program. In either case, be sure that the growing mix is well drained with 12-18% air-filled pore space. The pH range should be 5.8-6.2. If a very lightweight mix is used, large plants can be top heavy and prone to tipping over in windy conditions. If this is a problem, use a growing mix that contains a heavier component (like bark) to provide weight and stability to the pots.

F E R T I L I Z AT I O N

Feed after transplanting with 250-300 ppm fertilizer containing a high percentage of ammonium nitrogen such as constant 20-10-20 or 20-20-20, adding 100 ppmN ammonium nitrate to the 20-10-20. Start alternating with calcium based fertilizer such as 15-0-15 after about 3 weeks, repeating it every 3rd-4th feeding. You should maintain a soil solution pH at 5.7-6.0. After flower buds reach pea size, reduce feed to 200 ppmN once a week, using calcium and potassium based fertilizers only. You may have to reapply 20-10-20 during extended periods of rain.

For garden mums grown with slow-release fertilizer choose one of the newer types on the market that is less likely to release solely on soil temperature. You can use a 3-4 month release type at manufacturer’s recommended rates for southern locations. Northern growers often get better results using a five to six months or eight to nine month longevity product. Slow release fertilizer at half rate could be used in combination with liquid feed. Use weekly soil test results to monitor pH and EC of your crop and adjust the feed program accordingly.

S PAC I N G

Spacing will vary from grower to grower, depending on finished pot size and your target sales market. For the best results we recommend that the foliage not touch. Proper spacing will prevent tall ‘stovepipe’ growth, yellow foliage, disease and unsaleable plants.

WAT E R I N G

Drip tubes or drip tape is recom-mended instead of hand watering or overhead irrigation. Drip irrigation helps to keep foliage dry and prevents the spread of bacterial leaf spot. During the first few weeks of growth, keep the plants evenly moist but not soaked. It is best to irrigate at sunrise or just before. Mums can tolerate some later afternoon wilt, but they should be watered thoroughly early the next morning. Avoid fluctuations between too wet or too dry. Try to water the plants on a regular basis in order to prevent excessive drying. On the other hand over-watering will only cause root disease and a poor finished plant. Avoid feeding wilted plants. Instead, use clear water until plants regain turgidity.

P I N C H I N G

Many garden mum varieties can be treated as no-pinch varieties if grown in a 6” or larger container. Smaller

pots do not have sufficient time to develop and branch without a pinch. If a grower is more comfortable with doing a pinch, this is fine and can be done when planting the rooted cutting to save time and labor. When pinching, always do a “soft pinch” removing only ½” or less from the cutting tip. Pinching hard or pinching after July 15 may delay flowering.

P R E M AT U R E B U D D I N G

Early budding can be caused by extreme conditions such as too dry or too cool. In the North, cool night temperatures in June could be a common cause of premature budding. Avoid moving plants out-side too early. If premature budding occurs, feed plants 2-3 times with an ammonium-based fertilizer at 300 ppm N to bypass the buds with new vegetative growth.

H OT W E AT H E R I S S U E S

If your geographical area is receiving prolonged hot weather, beware of high growing media temperatures especially in plants on black landscape cloth. Very hot weather over an extended period of time can cause the slow release fertilizer to release early, burn roots and weaken the plants. Once this happens, the soil remains saturated for longer

of pests and their development stages. The following spray program can be used for mite and thrips control, using chemicals available in the US. Other chemical names would be used in Canada.

Avid + Pylon tank mix Conserve + DuraGuard tank mix Citation + Mesurol tank mix Pedestal

The above combinations should be applied twice in a row and then should not be reapplied until at least two other insecticides with different modes of action are applied to avoid resistance build up.

Other recommended pesticides include:

• For spider mite control: Floramite, Hexygon, Judo, Ovation, Sammite

For thrips control: Flagship, Orthene, Safari, Preclude

For leaf miners control: Azatin, Decathlon, Flagship, Safari

For whitefly control: Distance, Endeavor, Flagship, Marathon II, Preclude, Safari, Tristar

When applying pesticides:

• Always experiment with any new chemical on a few plants before treating your entire crop.

• Always use label rates.

Make sure these products are available for use and labeled for mums in your state or province.

periods of time when wet, and root diseases can set in. To avoid this, use lower rates of slow release products, and do more liquid feeding. Any root stress from high temperatures or pots sitting wet for prolonged periods can result in pythium, fusarium or phytopthora.

G R O W T H R E G U L ATO R S

In most cases, if proper varieties are being used along with the correct schedule, no growth regulators are needed. Smaller finished products, such as market packs or 4”, may benefit from the use of growth regulators. B-9 sprayed at 2500 to 5000 ppm will slow the growth and a Bonzi drench at 2-3 ppm will virtually stop all growth. The last PGR application should be no later than 4 weeks before first color. Excessive or late applications of growth regulators will delay flowering. Florel will significantly delay natural day flowering if applied after June 20th.

I N S E C T S

Potential insect problems include aphids, caterpillars, mites, thrips, leaf miners, and whiteflies. Always take the extra precaution of weekly scouting and prevention. The sooner the infestation is found, the fewer plants will be affected. Rotate insecticides and miticides to avoid resistance and control a wide range

D I S E A S E S

The most common disease problems on garden mums include: botrytis, pythium, rhizoctonia, fusarium and bacterial leaf spot. Thorough moni-toring of your crop, implementing an IPM program and prevention are the best defense options against disease problems. It is very important to use drip irrigation, sterilize production ar-eas, remove weeds and use healthy plant material. This will reduce the need for chemical control of disease problems. Inspect roots periodically to determine plant health. Chemical control could be very effective if quick diagnosis from the lab is performed and correct fungicides or bactericides are selected.

When applying pesticides:

• Always experiment with any new chemical on a few plants before treating your entire crop.

• Always use label rates.

Make sure these products are available for use and labeled for mums in your state or province.

Asters are the perfect companion for garden mums. Like garden mums, they can be used in summer and fall. They also have similar cultural requirements. There are a few differences from garden mum culture, which are highlighted below.

G R O W I N G M E D I A & F E R T I L I Z AT I O N

The same soilless media and the same 300 – 400 ppm N constant liquid feed program from a complete fertilizer used for garden mums will work for asters (see Growing Media and Fertilization sections in Garden Mum Cultural Information). Maximum growth is attained when water and fertilizer are not limited, similar to garden mums. Asters are more sensitive to salts in the root zone. Be sure solution comes out of the pot at every irrigation. If you notice foliage tip burn, you may need to leach. Monitor the pot EC to prevent damage. Target should be approximately 75% of the garden mum target.

F LO W E R I N G R E S P O N S E

Asters flower under short days, and tend to bud easier than garden mums. Asters flower faster than mums once short days begin. Most flower in five weeks, compared to seven for mums. Avoid blackout periods longer than 13 hours since some varieties can abort flower buds. Artificial short days should be used from March 15 – August 15. We recommend retailing asters earlier than mums, when color is just starting to show, for better consumer longevity. In natural-season pro-grams, asters flower faster under hot and bright conditions. Asters grown in the South flower seven to 10 days faster than the same variety grown in the North.

P I N C H I N G

Traditionally, fall aster crops have been pinched at least once. (Liners from Jolly Farmer have been pinched.) With the new, bet-ter-branching varieties, aster pinch requirements have been reduced.

ASTER CULTURE

35.

For our trials we now use multiple cuttings, but just one pinch for black cloth and one cutting with no pinch for natural season.

For black cloth crops, the pinch should be given when roots are well developed. This is generally 10 – 14 days after planting a rooted cutting or 21 – 24 days after a direct stick. Pinch off the top to leave four to six leaves on the cuttings. Rooted cuttings naturally become taller during propagation than cuttings that are direct-stuck. The first pinch on rooted cuttings will be harder than for direct-stick unrooted cuttings. If you pinch more than once, allow enough growth for three to four leaves to remain after pinching.

Pinching can be done every two to three weeks. Be sure to pinch all shoots or there will be uneven growth and flowering. Pinching is not required on natural-season crops. Pinching natural season crops after mid-July is not recommended as the plants are too close to bud initiation.

S PAC I N G

As with garden mums, proper spac-ing is critical. Asters are generally smaller in size than garden mums and therefore can be grown tighter.

C R O P S C H E D U L I N G

Plant on the same schedule as your mum crop. Flowering times vary as per information given in your catalog.

H E I G H T C O N T R O L

With today’s free branching varieties, less growth regulator is needed to control height. B-Nine and Bonzi are used successfully and rates are similar to those for garden mums.

I N S E C T C O N T R O L

Whiteflies and thrips and occasional spider mites are the key insect pests. For additional information on pesticide use, refer to our Chrysan-themum Pest Control tip sheet at www.syngentaflowersinc.com.

D I S E A S E C O N T R O L

Asters are susceptible to some different diseases than garden mums, primarily powdery mildew and rust. Some varieties are more resistant to disease than others, but disease expression is also weather dependent and varies from year to year. These diseases generally do not spread to an adjacent garden mum crop. Good cultural practices that create an unsuitable environ-ment for the disease reduces their incidence. For additional information

on pesticide use, refer to our Chry-santhemum Pest Control tip sheet at www.syngentaflowersinc.com.

For outdoor aster production, we strongly recommend a preventative spray program with a myclobutanil chemical such as Eagle® or Hoist® to control powdery mildew and rust. Scout crops regularly and apply protective fungicides as needed. Try to limit the number of sprays applied as they can have a growth retardant effect. Before using any pesticides, be sure that they are registered for use in your state or province. See label for use rates and application methods. Always follow label directions. The label is the law.

Important: Always read and follow label instructions before buying or using Syngenta products. The instructions contain important condi-tions of sale, including limitations of warranty and remedy.

If Celosia is grown under too cool conditions the result might be plants that are too small, and flowering that is stressed or not uniform. At high temperatures it is advisable to monitor the amount of ventilation in order to avoid excessive evapotrans-piration. Celosia can be sensitive to varying growing conditions. The use of growth regulators will darken the foliage.
