1 Kathy Zuzek Extension Educator, Horticulture Started in early 1990 s by Dr. George of Texas A&M Goal was to provide research-based recommendations on environmental stewardship practices in horticultural landscapes Key components of program: 1) identifying and teaching landscape practices focused on: nutrient management without inorganic fertilizer applications improving overall soil health with compost & organic mulch water conservation minimizing pesticide use Key components of program: 2) identifying plant cultivars & species that perform well over multiple years & over a regional basis under low input conditions: inorganic fertilizer and pesticide use are eliminated compost and organic mulch are used as nutrient sources supplemental irrigation is minimized Multiple regional test sites Replicated & randomized trials 4 blocks/trial site 1 plant/cultivar in each block Eliminate native vegetation Plowing/tilling Incorporate 3 compost Plant 3 organic mulch 1
2 Year 1: Plants establish, regular irrigation, no evaluation Years 2-4: Evaluation years No fungicides or insecticides Hebicides only to control invasive weeds No fertilizers No irrigation unless wilt starts to occur Maintain 3 layer of organic mulch Tolerance to Abiotic Stresses: Cold hardiness Heat tolerance Drought tolerance Nutrient deficiencies Disease & insect tolerances Plant size & habit Cercospora Drought Bacterial leaf spot Iron chlorosis/high soil ph Foliar quality Size, color & density Impact of stresses & pests Flower quality Size & color Floral density Repeat bloom or length of flowering season 1official evaluation site in a particular region of the U.S. Followed by multiple small confirmational plots across region to verify evaluation at official site. Examples: Rose Brigade trials S. rose trials S. herbaceous perennial trials S. crape myrtle trials S. vegetable trials Gussie Field Water Worth Park, Farmers Branch, TX Multiple formal evaluation plots established throughout a region of the U.S. Examples: Northern rose trial Kordes rose trial Upper Midwest hydrangea trials Upper Midwest ninebark trial Hydrangea Trial Plot Locations 2
