Spring Pack Trials at Golden State Bulb Company

Spring Pack Trials

Every year, in conjunction with the US west coast Pack Trials, Golden State Bulb Growers holds a major Callafornia Calla® Demonstration Trial. This usually occurs in late March and/or early April and is scheduled for March 28 to April 5, 2009.

Thousands of different sized pots of over fifty varieties of Callafornia Callas® are forced in accord with Golden State Bulb Growers’ cultural recommendations. Varied tuber combinations and pot sizes are demonstrated in an effort to assist producers in determining optimal profits for their varied target markets. Cut flower production is also demonstrated, as well as various other products offered.

Trials also include: 1) pathogen control/chemical efficacy trials; 2) media trials; 3) growth regulator trials; 4) light and temperature effects trials among others. The knowledge to be gained is well worth the time invested.

Any person interested in calla culture should attend. Appointments are recommended but not required. Allow at least two or more hours to take advantage of this excellent educational opportunity. For appointments, e-mail: scortez@goldenstatebulb.com
