A guide to simple and effective nursery trials

Some growers would like to test pesticides or new growing techniques on different ornamental species in their own nursery environment. However, they are often put off through lack of experience or knowledge in undertaking trials. The principal aim of this factsheet is to give growers the confidence to conduct their own trials, and guide them through the key points to consider using a question and answer format

In this factsheet you can find out:

• what things you should consider before you start
• how to organise and plan a trial
• how to record your findings
