WCC058: Production, Transition Handling, and Reestablishment of Perennial Nursery Stock

Statement of Issues and Justification

issue "Plant production, transition handling, and reestablishment of nursery stock continues to be challenging in light of new plant introductions and growing techniques. It is essential to understand past and current problems in order to design an integrated research approach to address issues facing perennial plant producers.

Commercial production is concentrated in regions with climate favoring rapid and cost effective plant growth. Visiting these major production regions affords the opportunity for WCC-058 participants to interact with growers and handlers in identifying production handling and reestablishment issues. Research addressing proper acclimation and handling of perennial plants before shipment to climatically diverse regions is critical to their quality, survival, and ability to re-establish."
