62. Floriculture: Fact Sheets: Specific Crops: Hybrid Lilies As Pot Plants FACT SHEETS SPECIFIC crops HYBRID LILIES AS POT PLANTS. Growing MediumA welldrained, growing media is essential for proper growth of lilies. http://www.umass.edu/umext/floriculture/fact_sheets/specific_crops/lily.html

Production of Hybrid Lilies as Pot Plants Hybrid lilies can be classified into two categories, Oriental hybrids and Asiatic hybrids. Orientals are characterized by large (6-8"); highly fragrant; red, purple, pink, or white flowers. Asiatics have smaller blooms (3-4") with no fragrance and are available in bright shades of gold, yellow, orange, rose, pink and white. The natural season for flowering of Asiatic lilies is late spring and early summer. Oriental lilies bloom naturally in late summer. Asiatic lily bulbs can be stored in coolers for forcing virtually year-round by freezing the bulbs. Oriental lilies, except for a few cultivars, cannot be stored for more than nine months. Therefore, they are scarce to come by during January, February and March. Although availability of Asiatic bulbs is now almost year-round, hybrid lilies are primarily marketed from February through May and particularly for Easter and Mother's Day. Asiatic lilies are a relatively short-term crop, 60-90 days vs. 80-130 days for Orientals depending on cultivar. Hybrid lilies are not difficult to grow as potted plants if a few basic cultural requirements are adhered to. Adjustments and improvements can be made to the standard forcing information based on the grower's experiences with cultivar responses to specific greenhouse environments.

That's the common thread linking two reports released this September by the non-profit research group GPI Atlantic. These new publications, "Soil Quality and Productivity," and "The Value of Agricultural Biodiversity," are the first two instalments in the 5-part "Resource Capacity and Use" component of GPI's "Agriculture Accounts." Jennifer Scott, the author of the reports, says she was surprised that the livestock issue kept coming up in her research on both topics. She recommends introducing more grazing animals in regions where row cropping is most intensive-both to increase the use of manure for boosting soil fertility and organic matter, and to create more local demand for soil-building forage crops that could be incorporated into rotations. That kind of diversified farm system makes it possible to take fuller advantage of the agricultural "services" provided by natural ecosystems, she says, because there tends to be higher populations of earthworms and other beneficial organisms where perennial sod crops are grown, and where manure is spread on the land. Scott identifies diversity both wild and domestic as a positive indicator of farm sustainability.

64. GM Sugar Beet Study Deception A few months earlier large sections of the farming and general media had been takenin by this deception Genetically engineered crops can save farmers money http://www.btinternet.com/~nlpwessex/Documents/sugar-beet-paper-commentary.htm

New Study on Transgenic Sugar Beet reveals How the work of Research Scientists is Manipulated through the Media by the Biotechnology Industry ( the address of this page is: www.btinternet.com/~nlpwessex/Documents/sugar-beet-paper-commentary.htm Whilst there are many brilliant and dedicated minds in the scientific world there are increasing concerns that their work is becoming easy prey for less than honest exploitation by commercial interests - particularly when it comes to presenting industrial agendas through the media. However, journalists are now gradually becoming alert to the ways in which science can be deliberately distorted and repackaged to suit particular commercial objectives at the expense of full disclosure of the facts. A number of recent articles in the mainstream UK press have shown an increasing awareness of this type of phenomenon. (see: http://www.guardianunlimited.co.uk/gmdebate/Story/0,2763,194211,00.html http://www.the-times.co.uk/news/pages/tim/1999/10/01/timnwsnws01005.html?999 Although not yet picked up by the popular media, full details of the extent to which the work of scientists can become subject to blatant presentational manipulation by industry have recently come to light in a case in the biotechnology sector. This follows the publication of a study on transgenic sugar beet in the journal ' Pest Management Science' Although this paper was only officially released in April 2000, Monsanto had been using parts of this work prior to its peer-review and formal publication to make misleading statements about the environmental 'benefits' of its transgenic sugar beet since 1998. Further details of Monsanto's manipulation of the findings of this work, subsequently unearthed by New Scientist, are given at

Fertiliser Recommendations for Horticultural Crops Nursery Stock, Bedding Plants and Pot Plants in Peat and Bark The nutrition of these plants is based on the use of slow release fertilisers. Liquid fertilisers are generally applied only occasionally but under conditions where leaching may occur they may need to be applied more frequently. TESTING SOIL-LESS MEDIA It is important that the nutrient levels in the growing media are monitored closely to prevent the development of nutrient disorders. Desirable nutrient levels for soilless media are given in Table 1. Table 1: Desirable nutrient levels for soil-less media using 1:1.5 water extraction. Results expressed as ppm in extract. Nutrient Level Total Mineral N (NH N + NO N)* P K Mg Conductivity (mS) Low Desirable High * NH N to NO N ratio should be at least 1:3 for most plants. For bark based compost, half the P value given in Table 1 may be adequate. For seedlings, the desirable range is half the values for all elements. A pH of 5.3-6.5 measured in the unfiltered extract is considered desirable for most crops. It may be necessary to reduce N to very low levels in autumn for outdoor nursery stock, including container grown kiwifruit, so as to harden them against winter frosts. Bark used in potting mixes should be well stabilised (composted), as indicated by a Nitrogen Drawdown Index (NDI) of at least 0.2.

Institute for Horticultural Development IHD Media Release - 27 March 2000 Previous Index Next Pest a menace to lettuce crops Corn earworm has been eating away Victorian lettuce crop profits since February this year. "Corn earworm damage has resulted in Victorian lettuce growers being forced to plough in crops," said DNRE spokesperson Craig Murdoch. "The combination of record high temperatures in February, together with unprecedented numbers of corn earworm moths, has triggered the outbreak. The problem has been made worse because corn earworm has become resistant to most registered insecticides," Mr Murdoch said. Corn earworm, a common name for the insect Helicoverpa armigera, causes damage to both whole and processed lettuce and can be an entry point for diseases. DNRE is working with growers to develop strategies to control corn earworm as part of a project to improve lettuce quality. "It's crucial that growers regularly monitor their crops, especially when the pest pressure is high," Mr Murdoch said. Flights of corn earworm moths can be estimated using pheromone traps and eggs and grubs can be monitored on the lettuce. There are several products to help control corn earworm, which must be rotated carefully to avoid further resistance problems. The grubs must be sprayed before the lettuce forms the heart. If the grubs get inside the heart, spraying will not get them. Grubs should be sprayed when they are small for better control. Crop waste should be ploughed in as soon as possible after harvest, as this kills the pupae that spend the winter in the soil.

What's On Media Statement Thursday, June 28, 2001 CALL FOR OPEN MINDS ON GM CROPS AND BIOTECHNOLOGY Professor Stephen Powles an agricultural scientist at The University of Western Australia has called on both city and rural Australians to have open minds on biotechnology and the value of genetically modified (GM) crops. Professor Powles warned of the dangers of 'fiction winning over fact' in the community's understanding of the issue. "Currently, in my view, there is not a balanced public debate on the pros and cons of biotechnology, including GM crops. There is far too much misinformation presented as fact by opponents of biotechnology," he said. "Tags such as 'Frankenstein Foods' are incorrect and contribute unnecessarily to public concerns and misinformation. The majority of informed Australians might question whether these criticisms are justified. "As a civilised society with a great depth of goodwill, scientific talent and common sense, we are well placed to consider the biotechnology issues objectively. I am concerned at how the issue is portrayed negatively at present. We must all evaluate biotechnology and its use for GM crops in the open-minded manner that Australians are renowned for.

What's On Media Statement Monday, September 2, 2002 FOCUS ON GENETICALLY MODIFIED (GM) CROPS AT UWA A special one-day symposium, ‘Herbicide-Resistant Crops and Weeds’, is to be held in Perth on Friday, September 13, 2002 at the Sheraton Hotel. Symposium organiser, The University of Western Australia’s Professor Stephen Powles said the line-up of Australian and international speakers had been put together to provide an insight into what lies around the corner as Australia considers the introduction of genetically-modified (GM) crops. "By placing it in the context of the decisions facing Australian cropping, the symposium provides a unique opportunity for us to benefit from international experience," he said. Among the speakers will be Professor Mike Owen, from the heart of the ‘Corn Belt’ in Iowa, who is well known to United States farmers as a dynamic and provocative speaker on cropping issues. His forthright views on the benefits and risks of GM herbicide-resistant corn and soybean, and their impact on North American agriculture, promise to provide the West Australian industry with plenty of timely food for thought. Other international visitors include Professor Ford Baldwin from Arkansas State University who has been influential at the coalface of the massive adoption of GM herbicide-resistant crops in America and elsewhere. Dr Stephen Moss will provide the European perspective, and Dr Ian Heap, a pioneering Australian herbicide resistance researcher now based in the US, is in a perfect position to contrast the challenges of resistance facing agriculture in Australia and other parts of the world.

JOINT MEDIA RELEASE th March 2002 GM CROPS CAUSE MASSIVE, UNMANAGEABLE CONTAMINATION Europe cannot ignore official warnings, say leading environmental groups In its report, the EEA warned that: "oilseed rape can be described as a high risk crop for crop-to-crop gene flow and from crops to wild relatives … It is predicted that plants carrying multiple [herbicide] resistance genes will become common post-GM release … Oil seed rape is cross compatible with a number of wild relatives and thus the likelihood of gene flow to these species is high". The problem was already recognised by the French government, which banned cultivation of GM oilseed rape in 1998 [2]. Agrochemical companies are now actively marketing new chemicals designed to deal with herbicide-tolerant superweeds. Rather than GM crops reducing the use of harmful chemicals as the biotech industry claimed, herbicide applications for herbicide-tolerant oilseed rape in Canada are actually higher than for conventional oilseed rape. Between 1997-2000, there was an average of 2.13 herbicide applications per crop with GM Roundup Ready and Liberty Link crops, compared to 1.78 applications for conventional varieties. Similar contamination problems exist for beet, another plant that is indigenous to Europe and has a number of wild relatives. According to the EEA: "Sugar beet can be described as medium to high risk for gene flow crop to crop and from crop to wild relatives. Pollen from sugar beet has been recorded at distances of more than 1 Km at relatively high frequency … The possible implications of hybridisation and introgression [of transgenes] between crops and wild plant species are so far unclear because it is difficult to predict how the flow of genetically engineered genes will be expressed".
