Canopy management strategies for wildflower crops - a practical manual
The long awaited manual produced by RIRDC Project No PRJ-003984 is available at
https://rirdc.infoservices.com.au/items/15-058
For the commercial production of wildflowers, canopy management, or the manipulation of plant growth, aims to produce high yields of long, straight stems with unblemished, high quality flowers. The methods to achieve this vary, and you need an understanding of plant growth habit to select the right method. This manual will be a big help here!
Given the vast range of products grown by the Australian wildflower industry, it’s impossible to design a single canopy management strategy which will apply to all plants. So this manual provides information on the general and specific growth habit of the most important Australian wildflower products, including the following:
Actinotus (Flannel flower)
Banksia species with a separate profile for Banksia plagiocarpa
Brunia and Berzelia
Ceratopetalum gummiferum (NSW Christmas Bush)
Eucalypt flowers
Grevillea
Leucadendron
Leucospermum
Protea cynaroides (King Protea)
Protea hybrids
Telopea speciosissima (Waratah)
