2026 The Keller Scholarship in Conservation Horticulture
Rose Production System Soil Management
My project, Rose Production System Soil Management, focuses on improving soil health to support sustainable and productive rose cultivation. The study will evaluate soil management practices, such as organic amendments, nutrient management, and enhancements to soil structure, to understand their impact on plant health, flower yield, and the lasting quality of the soil. The goal is to develop practical recommendations that will assist commercial rose growers while also providing valuable research and educational opportunities for horticulture students. This effort aims to improve industry practices and educational materials in sustainable ornamental production.
