circulation, coupled with protection from rain, ensures that foliage, flowers, and fruit remain dry for longer periods of time, which can reduce the duration and frequency of disease infection periods ( Karlsson and Werner, 2011 ). For growers interested in

insidiosus (predatory bug) was used to suppress western flower thrip ( Frankliniella occidentalis) , Encarsia Formosa (parasitic wasp) was used to control greenhouse whitefly ( Trialeurodes vaporariorum ), and Phytoseilus persimilis (predatory mite) was

GI was not recorded because flower pruning often altered width and height. While measuring GI, symptoms of potential nutrient deficiency and pest damage were recorded. Pests (e.g., spider mites, beetles) were controlled via hand removal, pesticide
photosynthesis]. Red and far-red (222 nm) wavelengths are important for shoot/stem elongation, phytochrome responses, and changes in plant anatomy ( Schuerger and Brown 1997 ); red wavelengths also inhibit flower bud initiation in fall flowering strawberry
. These reports indicate that there is a species-dependent, if not cultivar-dependent, response to salinity on R/S ratios. Viburnums are popular garden and landscape plants in North America due to rich foliage, fragrant flowers, bright color, variability
