Partners with solutions

Dear Reader,

Welcome to the Greenhouse Management State of the Industry report focusing on the North American ornamental disease control market sponsored by OHP. We are pleased to make a small contribution to the horticulture market with this comprehensive review of the greenhouse plant health market.

Our industry faces many challenges like recovering from the COVID pandemic, weathering the general health of the economy, dealing with the slowdown in the housing market, coping with increased input pricing and other outside negative factors. Our aim with this State of the Industry piece is to help today’s ornamental grower deal with diseases more efficiently and effectively, perhaps giving you one less thing to worry about.

Following in this state of the industry report is a comprehensive report on disease control from the capable staff of Greenhouse Management, complete with the latest research on the ornamental disease control market, along with reporting on a range of pertinent topics to help today’s grower grow quality, disease-free plants that consumers can’t resist purchasing.

OHP and other companies devote much time, energy and resources to develop products for disease control on ornamentals and greenhouse-grown herbs and vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, leafy greens, etc. Whether a conventional fungicide or a biofungicide, there are many solutions available and more on the way. Our hope is that this report gives you a better understanding of the products available, what others are using, how they work and how they can fit into your operation.

We encourage growers to visit our website (ohp.com) to take a further look at our disease solutions, whether conventional or in our BioSolutions segment. Our commitment to the production ornamental market remains unchanged — we are here to develop more solutions for our growers. In the meantime, here’s to growing clean, disease-free crops in greenhouses across the country. And thanks to you for your support and your efforts in keeping our industry vibrant and beautiful!

Best regards,

Ron Ostrander,

OHP Vice-President of Commercial Operations
