Professional Disease Management Guide for Ornamental Plants by Philip F. Harmon, S. D. Bledsoe

“…Florida’s warm, humid environment is a gardener’s paradise and a great location for ornamental plant producers to grow numerous plant species—but these conditions also are suitable for the development of a wide variety of plant pathogens and insects that can spread them. Florida is also a major port of entry for the international trade of ornamental plants, which carries the risk of introducing exotic invasive pathogens, so growers are required to follow certain phytosanitory regulations. …”
