The ASCFG (Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers) Research Foundation has presented grants to several groups in the cut flower industry:
- Chris Wien of Cornell University was awarded for his proposal titled “Testing the Potential of ‘Wild’ Pepper Lines as Fall Cuts”
- At North Carolina State University, John Dole and Alicain Carlson will study the “Production and Postharvest Evaluation of a new Sandersonia x Gloriosa Hybrid as a Cut Flower.” They will continue their work on “Postharvest of Specialty Cut Flowers.”
- Raymond Cloyd will “Determine the Effects of Pesticide Mixtures on Arthropod Pests of Cut Flowers” at Kansas State University.
- “Postharvest Treatment of Hydrangea for Unique Coloration” is the focus of Henry Schreiber’s work at the Virginia Military Institute.
The ASCFG Research Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, accepts grant proposals from cut flower growers, university and/or extension floriculture researchers, and industry specialists. The results of the grant should benefit specialty cut flower growers in the field or in the greenhouse.
The ASCFG is a trade association for commercial cut flower growers. Its goal is to produce and disseminate cultural and marketing information for field and greenhouse growers. For more information, go to www.ascfg.org. GT
