By Jessica Brown and Dr. Roberto Lopez, Department of Horticulture, Michigan State UniversityProducers are seeking information on how to schedule flowering of new and current cut flower varieties for year-round production. With this information, they will be able to successfully inhibit or induce flowering to schedule crops for specific market dates, increase yield, grow consistent and high-quality cut flowers year-round, and subsequently satisfy consumer demand for locally produced stems.

Michigan State University Extension is hosting a workshop and facilities tour focused on plant lighting for commercial growers and industry members on Dec. 18, 2023. The event focuses on the three major plant lighting applications: low-intensity greenhouse lighting to regulate flowering, high-intensity greenhouse lighting to increase growth and accelerate propagation, and indoor lighting to produce crops indoors (vertical farming).
