FOR GROWERS - Come in from the cold
Apart from the nursery manager's wet weather clothes cupboard, cold stores are an area of the nursery that are often under utilised. There has been much research work carried out on the storing of ornamental crops to extend despatch periods, hold back advanced crops and more, showing that a cold store can be an important part of the production plan.
With this as a back drop the workshop at will focus on cold stores and their role in ornamental production, using the HOC HNS Cold Storage guide as a foundation. A mixture of talks and practical sessions on the care of plants in a cold store will be available, duplicated in the morning and afternoon.
