180 POSTER SESSION 28 Culture & Management/Woody Ornamentals
Abstract
The Ohio Cooperative Extension Service and The Ohio State University sponsored a symposium December 9-10, 1977 for members of the nursery production and scientific communities to update their knowledge and exchange ideas as it related to the winter storage of woody ornamentals. The symposium participants discussed the physiology of winter storage, pre-storage practices, determining maturity and prediction of harvest dates, acclimating plants to storage, principles of common and refrigerated storage, construction and orientation of storage structures, poly-coverings, disease control, anti-transpirants, minimum-heat, thermoblankets, heat saving techniques, and future needs. A summary of the discussions as well as research ideas are presented in this report. Copies of the proceedings of the Woody Ornamentals Winter Storage Symposium can be obtained for $5.00. Persons interested should enclose a check payable to Storage Symposium to Dr. Elton M. Smith, Department of Horticulture, 2001 Fyffe Court, Columbus, Oh, 43210.

Ornamental grasses have been increasing in popularity for a number of years. These grasses originate from a wide range of habitats ( Davidson and Gobin, 1998 ; Greenlee, 1992 ). The growth of grasses may be influenced greatly by the addition of
opportunities for nursery growers. Several prior efforts have been undertaken to quantify cost estimates for various ornamental plant production systems in the southeastern U.S. ( Hall et al., 1987 ; Hinson et al., 2007 ; Taylor et al., 1986 , 1990

-carboxylase, which binds HCO 3 – to concentrate CO 2 within the plant so that photorespiration is reduced even under diminishing ambient CO 2 concentrations. To provide optimal growing conditions for many vegetables and ornamental plants, Mortensen (1987) and
floriculture crops. Recent research investigated the minimum P concentrations required by herbaceous ornamentals ( Borch et al., 1998 ; Hansen and Nielsen, 2000 , 2001 ; Nelson et al., 2012 ). These studies were focused on the potential of using low P
