2019 The Corliss Knapp Engle Scholarship in Horticulture

Sean Markovic is a PhD candidate at Colorado State University with a research focus involving plant growth regulator (PGR) applications on herbaceous perennials. His goal is to provide commercial growers of dificult-to-produce herbaceous perennials with improved protocols for stock-plant production and propagation. By using PGR to manipulate plant growth habits, this research has been able to  nd ways to incorporate PGR applications into the production procedures for herbaceous perennials. The ability to increase vegetative growth and production ef ciency has resulted in greater pro tability for commercial growers over the past two years.
