Heat And Humidity = No Problem: Athens Select announces six new varieties to its collection of plants for 2006-2007

摘要

Each of the six varieties recently named to the Athens Select program have been evaluated and deemed superior in trials at the University of Georgia in Athens. Founded in 1999, Athens Select is a collection of unique heat- and humidity-tolerant plantvarieties selected by Dr. Allan Armitage, horticulture professor at the University of Georgia and founder of the Athens Select program at the University of Georgia Trial Gardens and propagated from virus-indexed stock by members of the Athens Select Marketing Association. These six have been chosen out of the hundreds of plants put to the test.
