I have updated the Commercial Horticulture web page: http://www.ces.purdue.edu/vanderburgh/horticulture/comhort/ . I have added the PowerPoint lectures for Dr. Gary Johnson’s teleconference on Deep Planting and Stem Girdling Root Research. The lecture material was converted to PDF format to make your downloads easier.
