Belgian Mums® are the finest breed “garden” type mum on the market today. There is over 30 years of breeding and testing behind the Belgian Mum® name. They grow well in any container size from a market pack to ½ bushel. Belgian Mums® have a great mounding habit and will be covered with an uncountable number of flowers because they branch better and more often than other mums. This is also the reason Belgian Mums® are so flexible and can be sleeved or put pot to pot on shipping carts without worry of breakage or loss.

Spacing will very from grower to grower depending on finished pot size and your target sales market. We recommend for the best results that the foliage never touch each other. A good indicator for the distance between plants is to base the calculations on the expected diameter of the plant plus 2”. Below are our recommended spacing examples:

*Proper spacing will prevent tall ‘stovepipe’ growth, yellow foliage, disease and un-saleable plants.

Drip tubes or drip tape is recommended above hand watering or overhead irrigation. Drip system helps to keep foliage dry and prevents the spread of bacterial leaf spot.

Belgian Mums® will require considerable amount of well balanced fertilizer with micronutrients to finish properly. There are 2 stages of mum development.

The first is the vegetative period and accounts for the first 60% of the plant size as well as 60% of the crop time. Shortly after transplanting when irrigation frequency is lower we recommend using higher rates; 300-400ppm of 20-10-20 or similar type of fertilizer with each watering. Fertilizer rates should be reduced when plants develop and irrigation frequency increases.

The next period is the generative growth or ‘flower development’ period. This accounts for the final 40% of your plant growth and

schedule. At this point a grower should switch to potassium rich fertilizers: 15-5-30 or potassium nitrate at 250ppm until flower buds are well developed. Once you see first color use clear water. If vegetative growth is too slow, plants seem small or foliage is turning yellow it is beneficial to occasionally apply 20-10-20 at 300ppm during this period as well. Magnesium sulphate applied as a spray before first color will make plants stronger, enhance color and extend shelf life of Belgian mums.

Many large growers are being successful in producing garden mums by using constant feed containing 80-100ppm nitrogen. This method requires a very dependable injection system that will deliver lower rates of well balanced fertilizer with each watering. Growers should supplement minor elements when using professional fertilizer mixes at low rates or plants could develop minor nutrient deficiencies. A constant supply of Iron around 1ppm is especially important in maintaining healthy plants.

The specially formulated fertilizers, like Mum FeED or Acid Special, are very effective in lowering the soil pH and contain higher percentage of iron chelate. As a result, the ability to maintain slightly acidic pH throughout the growing season and making iron more available helps to further reduce the overall fertilizer use and to prevent minor element deficiencies.

For garden mums grown with controlled-release fertilizers choose one of the newer types on the market that is less likely to release solely on soil temperature. Use a 3-4 month release type and incorporate 6-12 pounds per cubic yard of soil prior to filling your pots or after transplanting as a top dress. Slow release fertilizer at half rate could be used in combination with liquid feed. Use weekly soil test results to monitor pH and EC of your crop and adjust feed program accordingly.

Belgian Mums® grown in full sun will have the best quality. Long days are necessary for vegetative growth and short days are needed for bud initiation and flowering of garden mums. Both spring and summer lit/shaded crops will require night interruption during the initial growth stage and blackout treatment before scheduled flower date. Natural day crops will bloom from early September through October.

Most of the soilless media available on the market are suitable for Belgian Mum® production. Do not use a media with any type of water retaining gel, this will only create root disease. For outside grown crops with overhead irrigation you may consider incorporating controlled release fertilizer in the media to ensure steady supply of nutrients.

Weekly soil tests are recommended to maintain correct fertilization program. Try to maintain a soil pH of 5.8-6.2.

When your cuttings arrive you will notice a white powder on the bottom of each unrooted cutting, this is a rooting hormone and it is applied at time of harvest for best rooting results. No other rooting hormone application is necessary.

‘Mum Lighting” is recommended, regardless of time of year, during the entire rooting period. Mum lighting is defined as 10-20 foot candles of incandescent light at plant level for at least 4 hours at night to keep plants vegetative. Soil temperature needs to be kept between 70-72F during the rooting process.

You can root your cuttings directly in the final pot or stick them in plug trays for rooting. It is very important to stick cuttings into moist soil and mist them regularly. Starting day 1 to 4, mist for 10 sec every 8 minutes. Days 5 to 9 mist 10 sec every 15-20 minutes. Days 10 to 14 mist 10 sec every 30-60 minutes. Reduce amount of mist gradually in the second week until plants are fully rooted. Excessive misting and low light after root initiation will result in decreased quality and stretching. You may need to syringe rooted cuttings 2-3 times per day under sunny conditions and low humidity to prevent premature budding.

We recommend that you use this as a guideline only and adjust your mist schedule based on light and temperature conditions in your greenhouse.

Fertilize twice during rooting with a solution of 20-10-20 or similar fertilizer at a rate of 200-250 ppm. Rinse cuttings with clear water to avoid tip burn after fertilizer application. A broad spectrum fungicide drench can be applied with the first feed but is not necessary when you start with healthy cuttings.

Before you are ready to start planting have your finished pots completely filled with media. Partially filled pots are unacceptable. Make sure media is evenly moist throughout the entire pot, not just the top few inches.

The perfect Belgian mum plug is 17-18 days old and 1.5” tall from the soil level. Plant rooted or direct stuck unrooted cuttings deep so the bottom 2-3 leaves are covered with soil and the grow tip is even with the rim of the pot. The shoots emerging from the soil will provide additional support to the plant. Immediately after planting feed with 300 ppm of 20-20-20 or similar fertilizer rich in phosphor and ammonium-based nitrogen. This will promote roots development and help to build a strong plant base. Remember a strong, healthy root system is a key to growing a superior finished plant.

Do not let your mums completely dry out during the first few weeks. You may have to syringe your crop for the first few days to prevent wilting.

Belgian Mums® can be ordered as rooted or unrooted cuttings. All boxes should be opened and inspected immediately. Place open boxes in a cooler at about 40°F. Plant rooted cuttings in your finished container or stick unrooted cuttings in a cell tray as soon as possible. Do not store mum cuttings in a cooler longer than 2 to 3 days.

During the first few weeks of growth, keep the plants evenly moist but not soaked. Later in the season if plants look slightly wilted in late afternoon there is no immediate need to water them, they can easily get through the night. Water them thoroughly next day in the early morning.

Avoid fluctuations between too wet or too dry. Try to water the plants on a regular basis in order to prevent excessive drying. On the other hand over watering will only cause root disease and a poor finished plant.

A Belgian Mum® will do most of its growing between sunrise and 11 a.m. This is why it is important to irrigate in the early morning to get the maximum growth. If plants are dry in the morning make sure to irrigate thoroughly and evenly. This means that some of the water or feed should drain from the bottom of each pot. This is also to help prevent any salt build up.

All Belgian Mums® have the ability to self-pinch and should be treated as no pinch varieties. There is no benefit in pinching Belgian Mums, by doing so you will increase the production cost and could decrease the uniformity of the entire crop. If you decide to pinch for some reason always do a “soft pinch”, removing only ½” or less from the cutting tip. Pinching hard or pinching after July 15 may delay flowering.

In most cases, if proper varieties are being used along with the correct schedule, no growth regulators are needed. Smaller finished products, such as market packs or 4”, may benefit from the use of growth regulators. B-9 sprayed at 2500 to 5000 ppm will slow the growth and a Bonzi drench at 2-3 ppm will virtually stop all growth. The last PGR application should be no later than 2 weeks before first color. Excessive or late applications of growth regulators will delay flowering.

Florel will not increase branching in Belgian Mums® but is recommended as a foliar spray during rooting and shortly after transplanting outside to prevent premature budding. This treatment is not necessary for indoor finished crops where growers have ability to control environment. Florel may not abort existing buds in garden mums but will prevent formation of new flower buds.

Fascination or Fresco could be used to promote shoot elongation on garden mums only when other tools, including proper scheduling, increased fertilization and watering, have failed. It is very important to experiment with different spray or drench rates before applying these products to the entire crop. Fresco applied as a drench will

CULTURAL INFORMATION

Before ordering your cuttings or even selecting varieties you need to ask yourself the following questions: What is my desired flowering date? What is my desired pot size or finished plant size? Will I order rooted or unrooted cuttings? Is it for outside or inside grown crop? Use blackcloth or natural day flowering?

We recommend that the diameter of your finished plant be 1.5 to 2 times the pot size. On average, starting with a rooted cutting, a Belgian Mum® will grow 1.5” per week. Knowing this, if you want your 6” Belgian Mum® to finish with a 12” spread you would need to plant rooted cuttings 8 weeks prior to your desired finish date. If starting with an unrooted cutting, you would need to add 2.5 weeks for rooting.

* You can always reduce the vegetative period by using 2 or more cuttings per pot and postpone planting until first week of July.

PLANNING

GroLink offers disease free, greenhouse grown cuttings that should perform better then any other mums on the market. Thorough monitoring of your crop, implementing IPM program and prevention are the best defense options against insect and disease problems. Since there is no good chemical control for Bacterial leaf spot and Fusarium it is very important to use drip irrigation, sterilize production areas, remove weeds and use healthy plant material.

The basic rules to follow and most common insects and diseases of garden mums with recommended treatments are listed below: * Diagnose the problem first and select appropriate pesticide. * Always use labeled rate only.* Make sure these products are available for use and labeled for mums in your state.* Always try first any new chemical on a sample number of plants before treating your entire crop.* Rotate different pesticide classes to avoid resistance.

Premature budding occurs when plants initiate flower buds before they reach reproductive stage due to stressful environmental and growing conditions. This will result in plants finishing short and flowering too early. The following steps should prevent premature budding even if you notice small buds on your starting material:

* Light cuttings during rooting – 4 hours of night interruption under minimum of 10 foot candles of light.* Avoid planting/moving natural day crops outside before mid-June. * Maintain above 68°F in propagation.* Never allow plants to dry during the vegetative stage.* Feed with phosphor-rich fertilizer at 300-400 ppm right after transplanting to promote vegetative growth.* If unable to maintain proper temperature and lighting, spray 500ppm Florel 10 days after stick in propagation and again before transplanting to keep plants from premature budding. When starting from rooted cuttings, spray Florel shortly after transplanting and reapply every 2 weeks, but no later than 8 weeks prior to expected ship date for natural day crops, to avoid flowering delays. For summer shaded crops Florel should be discontinued at least 2 weeks prior to start of short days.

PREMATURE BUDDING DEEP PLANTING OF BELGIAN MUMS

66 67

Shading is necessary to produce Belgian mums for July and August sales before the natural day season and it works by providing artificially short days to induce flowering. The response time will vary depending on variety and temperature. It is essential to provide at least 12.5 hours of darkness (less than 2 foot candles) for the period of 4-5 weeks to achieve uniform flowering of Belgian mums. Above average night temperatures during extremely hot summers will slow bud development and delay flowering so the blackout must continue longer until visible color. Please refer to Black Stars listing in this catalog that represents families/groups best suitable for summer shading programs. Each Black Stars group consists of varieties with similar vigor, growth habit and response time.

For shading outside we advise a woven material, so the wind and rain can move easily through it, but black plastic could be used successfully as well. The cloth can be laid on the top of the plants, without any support or you can make a simple frame mounted above the crop so the cloth can slide without touching the plants. Using a black cloth material that has too many holes or splits will result in uneven bud formation and decreased plant uniformity.

THE CONCEPT WHAT TO USE?

Black clothing could be done in a greenhouse or outside. In the first 2 weeks, when flower buds are triggered it is important to pull the black cloth every night. After the first 2 weeks you can skip one night in a week. In warm climates it is best to pull the black cloth late in the evening or before sunrise and leave it on until later in the morning to avoid trapping in excessive heat at night. The rule of thumb is to start black clothing when the plant has reached around 50% of the finish crop size.

HOW TO DO IT?

OUTDOOR AND INDOOR BLACKCLOTH PRODUCTION OF BELGIAN MUMS®

* Pull black cloth (7pm to 8am) for 5 weeks starting 6.5 weeks prior to expected first color* Measure plants weekly and use graphical tracking for growth control, no PGRs or very low rates should be applied to Jasodas if growth control is necessary* Plant rooted cuttings deep so the bottom 2-3 leaves are covered with soil and the grow tip is even with the rim of the pot* Florel is not recommended for indoor production of Jasodas but if used for preventing premature budding discontinue 2 weeks prior to start of short days

Mum netting is designed to prevent breakage of garden mums and poinsettias. It is the best and least expensive method to eliminate shrinkage in production and retail. Plants supported with green netting ship and sell better and last longer in landscaping (figure 1). GroLink offers two different sizes of netting. The 17” size is designed for use on smaller plants and the 23” size is for 12” and larger containers. Each 17” roll of netting yields 2200 pieces and the 23” roll approximately 1700 pieces.

WHY USE MUM NETTING?

GREEN MUM NETTINGFROM GROLINK

Mum netting should be applied at first visible flower bud. This usually occurs when plant reaches 60-70% of the final size so the netting will be positioned 4-5 inches below top canopy at the time of cracking color. Growers should expect 1-1,5” of growth per week on Belgian Mums® after bud set (figure 2). Mum netting applied too late (figure 3) will not allow enough time for plant foliage to cover it or the net might sit too low if applied too early.

WHEN AND HOW TO APPLY?

To minimize labor cost, we offer a re-winder/cutter that allows to cut up to 5000 pieces of netting per hour (compared to 400 if done manually with scissors). All pieces are arranged in one stack for easy handling (figure 4).
