Joining host Bill Calkins live on the show floor at American Hort’s Cultivate ’24 event, Dr. JC Chong dives deep into a few new products from SePRO, recent research findings and why some chemistries offer more benefits than meets the eye.
JC is the Technical Development Manager at SePRO following an extensive academic career that includes a BS in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Arizona, graduate training at the University of Georgia, post-doctoral training at the University of Florida and a professorship at Clemson University. With almost 20 years in the turf and ornamental industry, he’s now leading SePRO’s ornamental R&D program, delivering innovative solutions to complex problems. He’s also the editor of the popular PestTalks e-newsletter and a frequent contributor to GrowerTalks!
In this fun and informational episode, JC and Bill chat about the 2024 season, Thrips parvispinus and what pests and diseases are impacting fall annuals, perennials and holiday crops now before moving into some new products SePRO has introduced in the past year. Bill learns a new word, “symbiont”, and the science behind why a PGR like Topflor is showing visible plant quality benefits in production.
JC shares some reasons all growers should consider adding the fungicide Obtego to the toolbox and then shares exactly why SePRO’s new StriCore herbicide is a true breakthrough. It’s not often that we see new active ingredients enter the pre-emergent herbicide market, so it makes sense turf and nursery growers are excited about this one.
Be sure to listen all the way to the end because when a podcast is recorded face-to-face, you never know what to expect.
