To determine the factors affecting airborne conidial concentrations of Podosphaera xanthii Braun and Shishkoff and powdery mildew severity in greenhouse-grown potted gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii H. Bolus), airborne concentrations of conidia were monitored in a glass and polyethylene greenhouse. Temperature, relative humidity, and leaf wetness were recorded onsite, and the percentage of foliage wi...

The color of horticultural shade nets is known to influence crop growth and quality because variations in the amount light. Four ornamental plant species (celosia, begonia, gerbera, fountain grass) were grown under aluminet, pearl, red plus black as control at 50% intensity for 8 weeks. Black had least transmittance (∼10% 30% ambient) within spectrum (620–750 nm), whereas greatest ∼70% 80%. Alu...

The aim of this paper was to assess the effect of catechol (CH), as a peroxidase inhibitor, and 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate (HQC), as a bacterial inhibitor, on keeping the quality of Gerbera Jamesonii cv. Hongyan cut flowers, known to be limited by vascular occlusion. Blockage in the stem xylem vessels of cut gerbera was studied using light and scanning electron microscope. The results showed th...
