Regarding the use on ornamentals, it does clearly have a place. Using current practices, <br /> some crops are not suited. Ginger flowers are a crop where insect disinfestation is a major <br /> problem because of the many sites where insects can hide: irradiation has NO effect on vase <br /> life or quality. It may be possible to reduce the damage in the other flowers and expand <br /> irradiations usefulness. <br /> Hoping this addresses your questions. <br /> Yours Sincerely, <br /> Robert E.
