Ornamentals include floriculture and nursery products, typically grown for aesthetic purposes in landscape design, gardens, and cut flowers. have been the fastest growing agricultural sector in North Carolina over the last decade. However, nurseries and greenhouses are not isolated geographically, and the movement of both propagation and finished stock occurs across the globe. Due to this movement of plant material, North Carolina is faced with the constant threat regarding the introduction of exotic or regulated pathogens into our state on infested plant material or in potting substrates.
