Nurseries »

Skeltons has a keen involvement in this industry, with our technical advisors available to talk to ornamental and vegetable nursery owners to assess their disease and insect control needs.

We provide advice and help develop individualised control programmes and supply competitively priced control products.

Vegetable plants:  Skeltons knows vegetable seeds backwards and providing assistance in this aspect is a key part of our service.  We work with seed companies and growers to trial new varieites to improve production and performance.

We understand and are part of the full circle – from seed research to nursery application, to the commercial crop.  We believe our advice and input is integral to the whole process.

Ornamental plants:  We work with nursery owners to develop covered crops protection programmes, and have industry contacts to ensure ours is the best knowledge available in this specialised industry.

Weather Monitoring »

Skeltons technical advisors keep a sharp eye on the weather through in house monitoring services with access to Hort Plus or Metris data to ensure that we anticipate the protection needs of key crops such as onions.

We can also sign growers up onto weather forecasting services specific to the region if required.
