Cost Reduction in Nursery Operation

The first criteria in any cost reduction application in nursery operations should be, "How will it affect seedling quality and survival?" We are fortunate today to have better basic tools and information than we have had in the past on such things as seed viability, soils and fertilization, control of fungi, nematodes, and weeds. To me, cost reduction means using these basic tools to the fullest advantage. In doing so we actually save money while upgrading seedling quality. With men like we had on the Soil Management Panel, we are remiss in our duty and costing our employer money if we fail to take advantage of yearly soil tests and recommendations offered by these men.
