Environmental Horticultural at UF

The goal of this research program is to improve current and evaluate new landscape management techniques.  This includes evaluating current N fertilization recommendations for landscapes in Florida and investigating how to integrate irrigation and fertilization BMPs for ornamentals.  The program also studies plant response and performance in landscapes with reduced inputs in an effort to identify cultural practices and plant material that enhance the success and acceptability of low input landscapes.  Several greenhouse and field scale research projects have been initiated to help achieve the goals of the  research program.  Several funding proposals have been submitted to obtain the required resources for program goals to be met.  Research activities are geared to directly benefit the extension program.  Project findings are published in top tier horticulture journals, including HortScience, the Journal of Environmental Horticulture and HortTechnology.
