    Mum Bulletin An article developed by Bernard Chodyla, the Belgian Mums Technical Advisor.
    Problems Addressed:
    Premature budding on very early and early varieties.
    Yellowing and discoloration of the entire plant, nutrient deficiencies.
    Root and foliar diseases.
    Insufficient growth, plants too small for the pot size at this stage of the crop.
    Premature Budding on Garden Mums By Bernard Chodyla: "Premature budding or early flowering of garden mums could be a major headache for many growers. Last season, I received numerous phone calls and e-mails in regards to plants finishing short or flowering too early. Both are result of prema- ture budding that occurs when plants initiate flower buds prematurely due to stressful weather and growing conditions before reaching reproductive stage."
    Cultural Tips for Mums, Poinsettias & Cyclamen Liners By Bernard Chodyla - Technical advisor at Gro-Link with Jolly Farmer and Ron Adams.
    Transplant rooted cuttings as soon as possible after arrival. Any delay in planting or excessive drying will restrict vegetative growth after transplanting and may cause premature budding.

    Pest Management for Retail Greenhouses and Garden Centers Successful pest management is more challenging for retailers compared to producers for a number of reasons. Retail operations are open 7 days a week to the public, making it difficult to apply pesticide treatments. Plants in bloom or with tender growth are more susceptible to spray injury. Plants may be displayed with hard goods, making it necessary to move those plants outside or into a production area before spraying.
