1 Kathy Zuzek Extension Educator, Horticulture Started in early 1990 s by Dr. George of Texas A&M Goal: 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 with no or minimal 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 & on a regional basis when: inorganic fertilizer and pesticide use are eliminated compost and organic mulch are used as nutrient sources supplemental irrigation is minimized Multiple regional test sites Hydrangea Trial Plot Locations Replicated & randomized trials 4 blocks/trial site 1 plant/cultivar in each block 1
2 Eliminate native vegetation Plowing/tilling Incorporate 3 compost Plant 3 organic mulch Year 1: Plants establish, regular irrigation, no evaluation Years 2-4: Evaluation years No fungicides or insecticides Herbicides 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 Plants that perform well across all sites are designated as Earth-Kind and publicized to gardeners & hort industry through websites, publications, presentations 2
