| ProductType: | Container (plug) | ||
| Time To Grow: | 0 | ||
| Pre-Planting Treatments: | Seeds were sown into cone-tainers filled with Sunshine #1 (a soil-less peat-based media) amended with micro-nutrients (Micromax) and a slow-release fertilizer (Osmocote 14-14-14). The flats of cone-tainers were covered with poly-ethylene bags and placed in a walk-in cooler (35-40 degrees) for 6 weeks. | ||
| Growing Area Preparation/ Annual Practices for Perennial Crops: |
Flats were removed from the cooler after 6 weeks and placed in greenhouse set at moderate temperatures (70 degree days/ 50 degree nights). | ||
| Establishment Phase: | Seeds germinated within one to two weeks. 90% germination occured. | ||
| Length of Establishment Phase: | 1 month | ||
| Active Growth Phase: | Plants seemed slow to establish. They were watered daily and fertilized once mid-season with Peters 20-20-20 and placed in a shadehouse 1 month after coming out of the cooler. | ||
| Length of Active Growth Phase: | 5 months | ||
| Other Comments: | One flat of cone-tainers sown with seeds ("control flat") was placed in the greenhouse without any cold-moist stratification. No seeds germinated. After 8 weeks, the control flat was placed in the cooler for 6 weeks. Once removed, the flat exhibited 90% germination. | ||
