Greenhouse and Nursery - Environmental Horticulture Resources at the University of Maryland

The following are links to information for nursery and greenhouse growers from the evironmental horticulture program at the University of Maryland. In particular, there is information on fertilizer requirements for many horticultural plants.

Environmental Horticulture refers to the use of greenhouse and nursery plants to improve aesthetics in the human environment.

Over the past several years, we have performed a series of research trials studying fertilizer requirements for a wide variety of herbs and ornamental plants. In addition, we provide a large amount of information in the form of fact sheets designed to be useful for both industry professionals and the general public. Included below is a summary of our research results as well as an index of the fact sheets we have available, including a series covering general production information and a series highlighting production and consumer care factors for a variety of selected plant species:
