CASE STUDIES
Riverview Flower Farm
A preventative production program improved propagation success, maintained crop quality, and supported efficient large-scale ornamental plant production.
THE CHALLENGE
Maintaining Quality at Production Scale
Producing millions of retail-ready plants requires balancing crop quality, pest control, propagation success, labor efficiency, worker safety, and shipping schedules. Every plant loss carries costs associated with labor, inputs, growing space, and production time, making consistency critical to profitability.
THE APPROACH
Building a Preventative Growing Program
Riverview implemented a preventative production philosophy combining sanitation, environmental management, preventative pest control, and plant growth regulation. The operation utilized Obtego during propagation, Topflor for growth management, and a rotation of insecticides to manage pests while reducing resistance risks.
Improved Efficiency and Consistent Crop Quality
The integrated program improved propagation, enhanced crop quality, and helped reduce production losses while maintaining efficient operations.
