Abstract

This study aimed to compare the costs of two methods in establishing a native wildflower habitat using transplants while controlling weeds. The first method involved no-tillage and glyphosate herbicide and the second method used dazomet herbicide with tillage. Direct expenses included the initial establishment of the transplants under two differing soil treatments and were calculated separately. Expense differences between the two methods result from the prices of the two herbicides, type of equipment used in soil preparation and the type of tasks requiring labour. Results show a high rate (85%–90%) of the transplants becoming established regardless of the method used, suggesting that both may be considered suitable. With conservation and sustainability in mind, the cost estimates provide benchmarks for different methods of planting wildflower habitats in urban settings.

用低预算在城市环境中建立本地野花栖息地
这项研究旨在比较两种方法在控制杂草的同时利用移植植物建立本地野花栖息地的成本。第一种方法是免耕和使用草甘膦除草剂,第二种方法是使用棉隆除草剂和耕作。直接费用包括在两种不同土壤处理方法下移植植物的初始建植费用,并分别计算。两种方法的费用差异来自于两种除草剂的价格、用于土壤准备的设备类型以及需要劳动力的任务类型。结果表明,无论使用哪种方法,移栽植物的成活率都很高(85%-90%),这表明两种方法都是合适的。考虑到保护和可持续性,成本估算为在城市环境中种植野花栖息地的不同方法提供了基准。

期刊介绍: Folia Horticulturae is an international, scientific journal published in English. It covers a broad research spectrum of aspects related to horticultural science that are of interest to a wide scientific community and have an impact on progress in both basic and applied research carried out with the use of horticultural crops and their products. The journal’s aim is to disseminate recent findings and serve as a forum for presenting views as well as for discussing important problems and prospects of modern horticulture, particularly in relation to sustainable production of high yield and quality of horticultural products, including their impact on human health.
