Insecticides once per mon h if needed) and/or during week of show
change (South Wing & #6 H us ) . No herbicides, .very little
fungicides or fertilizers ery prominent signage used. During
non-public hours only; we 1 entilated afterward .
Growinq Greenhouses - #1 , #2 , 3 , #5 , #7 , #8, and Hoop Houses
Fertilizers a�glied once ac week. Many crops will not grow
properly without these re ul r feedings. Some require special
fertiliers, i .e. , to main ain correct soil acidity. Very young
cuttings and seedlings ha e the soil media soaked with fungicides to
control diseases. Insect cides are applied on an as needed basis.
Applications normally occ r as a three application series, i .e. ,
three sprayings over a 10 d y period. Herbicides are not used
indoors.
Outdoor Areas - Japanese Gar e and Flower Beds
Weed control is the most i ficult problem in the Japanese Garden.
Consequently, herbicide u e is mostly in this area. Use of the
garden is carefully contr 1 ed during these times and is limited to
May and June. These herb 'c des are very selective and 2 , 4, & D
types are not used due to t e danger to desirable plant materials.
Likewise, insecticides an ungicides are applied only the early
part of the growing seas May and June) .
Flower beds are fertiliz t the time of soil preparation (May and
June) . Herbicides appli d re only once after planting and is
limited to a pre-emergen y ype (prevents weed seed from
germinating) . Other pes ic des are seldom used.
