use environmentally sound methods to produce the most beautiful plants and flowers possible,\u201d UVM Department of Plant and Soil Science entomologist Margaret Skinner, Ph.D. said. \u201cTherefore, it is exciting to have an opportunity to showcase our findings with leaders from a national organization representing and supporting this industry.\u201d<br>While at UVM, trustees also had the opportunity to hear the following presentations from AFE-funded researchers:<p><\/p><ul><li>The Promise of Insect-Killing Fungi<\/li><li>Guardian Plants for Thrips Management<\/li><li>Energy Efficient Poinsettia Production<\/li><\/ul><p>\u201cBiological control of greenhouse ornamentals has been a major focus of our scientific team for many years, and support from AFE has been critical for sustaining our long-term research program,\u201d Skinner said.<strong> <\/strong>\u201cIn addition, as a Vermont native and a long-time resident of Burlington, it was a particular pleasure for me to welcome the members of the AFE board to this incredibly beautiful city.\u201d<br>The AFE Board will convene again in September for its 2013 annual fundraising dinner, held in conjunction with the
