Anemone Cut Flower Production In Utah, Shannon Rauter, Melanie Stock
Anemone Cut Flower Production In Utah, Shannon Rauter, Melanie Stock
All Current Publications
Anemone (Anemone coronaria) is grown as a cool-season annual for cut flower production in Utah. Tubers can be planted as early as November in a high tunnel for blooms beginning in March. For field production, plant in fall with insulation or as early as possible in spring (i.e., the soil is workable, approximately early March) for blooms beginning in May. Flower production ceases when temperatures reach approximately 80°F, usually by early July in northern Utah. In North Logan, UT, high tunnels produced an average of 2 to 7 marketable stems per plant, compared to 1 to 4 stems …

Ph 11.3 Enhances The Solubility Of Potassium Silicate For Liquid Fertilizer, Brendan Fatzinger, Bruce Bugbee
Ph 11.3 Enhances The Solubility Of Potassium Silicate For Liquid Fertilizer, Brendan Fatzinger, Bruce Bugbee
Nutrients
Consistent delivery of up to 1 mM silicon (Si) to the root-zone is beneficial for plant health, but the maximum solubility of silicon is only 1.7 mM between pH 4 and 8. This makes Si difficult to concentrate and add through a proportioner in liquid fertilizer systems. The solubility of Si begins to increase with increasing pH above 9. We added potassium silicate (K2SiO3) and fumed silica (SiO2) to RO water that was pH adjusted to pH 5, 8, 9, 10, or 11 with either KOH or NaOH. Samples were filtered and dried to …
