Wild, Andrew M. "Capability Brown, the Aristocracy, and the Cultivation of the Eighteenth-Century British Landscaping Industry." Enterprise & Society 14, no. 2 (June 2013): 237–70. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/es/kht018.

Capability Brown cannot be identified as the originator of modern landscaping, yet he created a business that achieved an unrivaled impact, outshining those before, during, and after his lifetime. Whether Brown was a great artist, opinions may differ. However, there is evidence that Brown was an outstandingly successful businessman. From humble origins, Brown ultimately created a business that seized the lion’s share of the landscaping market of Britain’s elite in the second half of the eighteenth century, counting half of the House of Lords as his clients. A study of Brown’s surviving account book, bank ledgers, and personal correspondence provides new insight into the rapid development, vast scale, and nature of his business. This research shows that commissions were not just gained due to his skills in landscaping, but through his exceptional business acumen, his method of operations, organizational structure, focus, work ethic, and ability to develop contacts and win trust with both the aristocracy and ultimately the King of England. What emerges is a picture of Brown as an entrepreneur of considerable skill, enabling him to uniquely build a national landscaping business.

This article is based on a semiotic analysis of corporate websites in the lap dancing industry. Forming part of a larger ethnographic study of the UK lap dancing industry, it focuses on how the exchange relationship between dancers and customers is shaped by the industry’s online presence. Methodologically, it draws on Hancock’s semiotic approach to the analysis of organizational artefacts and Brewis’s writing on the importance of understanding how sex work is constructed and perceived. The article shows the importance of corporate websites as virtual spaces that landscape customer expectations of the exchange relationship emphasizing how these expectations perpetuate, on the one hand, a very prescriptive range of body images shaping the performance and consumption of lap dancing work, and on the other, an ambiguous suggestion of open-ended possibility. The article argues that, in combination, this landscaping of prescription and possibility constitutes a powerful organization of anticipation underpinning perceptions of reasonable entitlement within the lap dancing exchange relationship considering how this impacts upon the dancers’ experiences of this relationship. The analysis highlights both the importance of virtual corporate spaces in landscaping interactive service exchanges, as well as the intensification that results from the ambiguity encoded within these spaces, requiring service providers to reconcile anticipation and experience, prescription and possibility, within the exchange relationship.

Tourism management involves using a systematic approach to spatial planning that involves multiple variables in land planning. However, it is common to find multiple approaches for the more negative aspects of tourism, such as its impact on natural spaces. On the other hand, the idea of including tourism in land planning finds unanimous support in academia. Although scientific research on tourism and land planning in natural areas is significant, many topics do not receive sufficient attention and the domain has not yet been subject to a systematic analysis, which is the purpose of the present study. To this end, bibliometric data is gathered from the Scopus database and analyzed through a bibliometric approach involving keyword analysis with Pearson correlation coefficient. The results indicate that development, landscaping, and management are the most researched topics, followed by community and system, natural/nature, and the local community. The results of the detailed analysis of the word “tourism” connected with planning in natural spaces reveal that research in the area defends sustainable management, economic growth, energy management and monitoring, and the adoption of a green economy model by the hospitality industry. By featuring the overall structure of research on tourism and land planning in natural spaces published in Scopus, this study provides helpful and timely information to researchers, scholars, destination managers, industry managers, and tourism and hospitality consultants.

Abstract The ornamental horticulture industry, including nursery production, landscaping, grounds management, and garden center and retail sales is experiencing the greatest growth and sales in its history. The demand for nursery stock, goods, and services has exceeded all expectations, and it will continue. One result of this growth has been an increasing demand for trained horticulturists, but there are not enough to satisfy that demand. Student enrollment in ornamental horticulture is declining at a time when demand for BS graduates exceeds the supply. At present, there are five to 10 job openings for every graduate. Why is this happening? There are several reasons, but the one of primary importance is low income potential, especially low starting salaries. It is difficult to attract students to a profession that offers a marginal income.

The chrysanthemum is a perennial herbaceous flower with a long history of cultivation dating back over 3000 years. The potted chrysanthemum is a significant type and is widely used in landscaping. Expensive substrate costs, complicated management of water and fertilizer, and uneven product quality currently plague the potted chrysanthemum industry. This study systematically investigated the growth status of potted chrysanthemums under different substrates, water, and fertilizer ratios and established a simplified cultivation system for potted chrysanthemums. The substitute substrate experiment demonstrated that coir: moss peat: perlite: pine needle mulch = 2:4:2:2 is the most suitable substitute substrate. Research on fertilizer ratios found that chrysanthemums’ best growth and flowering characteristics were achieved with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium concentrations of 336 mg/L, 93 mg/L, and 273 mg/L, respectively. A comprehensive, simplified cultivation system was established when utilizing T4 substitute substrate (2:4:2:2 ratios of coir, moss peat, perlite, and pine needle mulch), 40% water capacity, and F9 fertilizer (336 mg/L nitrogen, 93 mg/L phosphorus, and 273 mg/L potassium). This study comprehensively and systematically explored the cultivation and maintenance schemes in the production of potted chrysanthemums and built a light, simple, and efficient production technology system of potted chrysanthemums in the open field suitable for the climatic characteristics of northern China, which provides feasible technical specifications and a theoretical basis for the refinement and large-scale management of potted chrysanthemums. This experiment lays the foundations for cost reduction and efficiency in the potted chrysanthemum industry.

The daily life of Barnaul during the Great Patriotic War is considered based on private origin sources, primarily the memories. In total, the materials of 15 published memoirs were used, among the authors are ordinary citizens, both local residents and evacuees, industry workers and cultural figures, including theater actress Alice Koonen. The author of the article reveals aspects about the Barnaul appearance and landscaping during the Great Patriotic War, the construction of defense plants, the housing problem, the food supply to the population, the cultural space of the city in that period. In particular, evacuation to Barnaul of the famous Moscow Chamber Theater under the direction of A. Tairov, creation of the regional Philharmonic society, tours in the city of outstanding Soviet artists and creative collectives were considered. Contemporaries fixed in their memoirs the transformation processes of a provincial (in the pre-war period) city into a major industrial and cultural center. At the same time, the difficulties caused by wartime conditions are shown.

In the conditions of technological development and informatization of social relations, the formation of effective organizational support for the processes of investing in green technologies is becoming more and more actualized. The object of the research is the management processes of green investment of the countries of the world by various stakeholders in the conditions of increasing movement and development of productive forces towards Industries 4.0 and 5.0. Among the problems that need to be solved, the following should be noted: – low level of management decision-making and implementation of green investment in countries with transition economies and developing countries; – high level of divergence in technological development among the countries of the world in the system of technological structures. Effective organizational and economic support for green investment at the level of the state, investor, manufacturer, and client should be included among the tools for solving these problems. A comparative analysis of green investment of the countries of the world was carried out. The factors of positive and negative impact on the green investment management process in countries with different levels of economy and technological development were formed. Modern trends in the development of green investment were investigated. The effects of the implementation of green technologies by companies of the world were noted. The benchmarking approach has been improved, with regard to the selection of constituent countries-leaders, which can be used in the management of green investments. The criterion indicators of the SWOT analysis of the green investment management system were formed on the example of the innovative project of the university. The necessary conclusions have been drawn based on the research results. The obtained results are explained by the possibility of their application in the system of implementation of projects and programs regarding investment in green technologies (solar stations, wind stations, sewage treatment system, landscaping and greening of territories, geothermal energy). Practical implementation is possible in various countries of the world under the conditions of sustainable technological development from Industry 3.0 to Industry 5.0.

Singapore’s Progressive Wage Model, introduced in 2012 and mandatory in the cleaning industry since 2015, is a skills- and productivity-based approach to redesigning jobs and restructuring wages in the largely outsourced cleaning, security and landscaping sectors. Focusing on cleaning work in the food and beverage industry, this case study examines some early outcomes of this national drive to reduce wage inequality by improving the pay and conditions of commodified work in a sector subject to outsourcing-based cost competition. Based on interviews with cleaners, supervisors and managers, the findings suggest that in general, government and the trade union and employers’ association have worked together, to set wages and conditions transparently. Nevertheless, enforcement issues mean that cleaners remain vulnerable. They have limited information about their employment benefits and face various types of poor conditions, some sanctioned by and others in violation of labour laws. These vulnerabilities have structural roots, including rent imbalances and cheap sourcing, factors that commodify jobs. The implementation of the Progressive Wage Model may have helped de-commodify cleaning jobs for Singaporeans and permanent residents, but such outcomes are still dependent on non-systemic and unenforceable factors such as the kindness of individual supervisors. While a promising start has been made, Singapore’s initial efforts to improve incomes and conditions in low-wage work will nevertheless require stronger regulatory commitment.

Currently, in the design of large industrial enterprises, modern building information models (BIM) are being introduced and further used at the construction site. The construction industry is transitioning to digitalization of information modeling processes using spatial data and electronic document management. Therefore, it is proposed to use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and terrestrial laser scanners more efficiently for geodetic monitoring of the construction of industrial facilities of mining enterprises. With the systematic monitoring of construction, a full-fledged master plan is created, which reflects all deviations from the project, including works that were not provided for in the project documentation. It is known that using UAVs to collect spatial data, it is possible to control earthworks, pile fields, foundations, temporary roads and landscaping. Structures such as metal and reinforced concrete columns, trusses, beams, technological equipment, complex above-ground pipelines and facades are advisable to be monitored using a ground-based laser scanner. All the data obtained during geodetic monitoring can be combined in a single project and jointly used for a comprehensive solution of various applied engineering problems both in the process of monitoring buildings and structures being erected, and during their operation.

Laser measurement is currently applied to several tasks such as plumbing management, road investigation through mobile mapping systems, and elevation model utilization through airborne LiDAR. Effective laser measurement methods have been well-documented in civil engineering, but few attempts have been made to establish equally effective methods in landscape engineering. By using point cloud data acquired through laser measurement, the aesthetic landscaping of Japanese gardens can be enhanced. This study focuses on simple landscape simulations for pruning and rearranging trees as well as rearranging rocks, lanterns, and other garden features by using point cloud data. However, such simulations lack concreteness. Therefore, this study considers the construction of a library of garden features extracted from point cloud data. The library would serve as a resource for creating new gardens and simulating gardens prior to conducting repairs. Extracted garden features are imported as 3ds Max objects, and realistic 3D models are generated by using a material editor system. As further work toward the publication of a 3D model library, file formats for tree crowns and trunks should be adjusted. Moreover, reducing the size of created models is necessary. Models created using point cloud data are informative because simply shaped garden features such as trees are often seen in the 3D industry.

As an emerging country, the construction industry is one of the factors to the development growth of the national economy. In Malaysia, there are various types of construction projects such as office buildings, housing, houses of worship, public and private institutions as well as the construction of infrastructure such as roads, drainage, landscaping and so on. The development is considered as an asset that must be protected in order to maintain the function of the development. Moreover, to emphasis on good asset management can reduce high operating costs and has helped many companies to improve efficiently in the face of recession. In addition, maintenance costs can be improved by taking into account, the condition of the building and report on the performance of building maintenance costs before a decision is made. Development of a wide range of defects is not a new scenario in Malaysia. Whether new or old, each is exposed to different types of defects. This paper is to discuss the common maintenance problems and building defects on civil and structural elements at the floating mosques buildings across Malaysia due to various factors. It will also provide opportunities to improve understanding of the building surveying profession in our country, namely to understand the scope and work as a building surveyor.

This research delves into the spatial arrangement and landscaping considerations for Pos Bloc Medan, an artificial tourist attraction. Employing a qualitative research design, the study assesses the facility’s adherence to tourism business standards stipulated in Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Regulation No. 4/2021. Findings indicate that elements such as “Special Business Requirements,” “Business Facilities,” and “Organizational Structure and HR” fall short of the prescribed standards. Several areas requiring improvement include the absence of emergency gathering points, limited community involvement, and suboptimal waste management. Recommendations for enhancement encompass routine health check-ups for employees, aligning with established norms for the operations of the tourism sector. Furthermore, the study presents a spatial proposal focusing on emergency gathering points to address safety, accessibility, and visual appeal concerns. The proposed assembly points not only bolster safety protocols but also contribute to enhancing the aesthetic appeal of Pos Bloc Medan, aligning with the objective of establishing a sustainable, multifunctional space. In conclusion, this research underscores the importance of meticulous spatial planning and strict regulatory adherence in optimizing tourist attractions, as exemplified by Pos Bloc Medan, for the betterment of the community, preservation of the environment, and sustainability of the tourism industry as a whole.

The present report describes exposure to respirable silica and dust in the construction industry, as well as means to manage them. The average exposure in studied work tasks (n = 148) amounted to 64% of the Finnish OEL value of 0.05 mg/m3. While 10% of exposure estimates exceeded the OEL, the 60% percentile was well below 10% of the OEL, as was the median exposure. In other words, exposure was low in more than half of the tasks. Work tasks where exposure was low included construction cleaning, work management, installation of concrete elements, rebar laying, driving work machines equipped with cabin air intake filtration, and landscaping, in addition to some road construction tasks. Excessive exposure (>OEL) was related to not using respiratory protection at all or not using it for long enough after the dusty activity ceased. Excessive exposures were found in sandblasting, dismantling facade elements, diamond drilling, drilling hollow-core slabs, drilling with a drilling rig, priming of explosives, tiling, use of cabinless earthmoving machines, and jackhammering, regardless of whether the hammering took place in an underpressurized compartment or not. Even in these tasks, it was possible to perform the work safely, following good dust prevention measures and, when necessary, using respiratory protection suitable for the job. Furthermore, in all tasks with generally low exposure, one could be significantly exposed through the general air or by making poor choices in terms of dust control.

Plant production is essential for the maintenance of human activity on Earth, and as seeds are the main tool for plant propagation, obtaining high-quality seeds is essential for successful planting. Forest species are applied in diff erent areas, such as timber, the pharmaceutical industry, landscaping projects, and degraded area recovery. The search for seedlings of forest species has increased due to the intense exploitation of ecosystems and the need to recover degraded areas. Therefore, it is necessary to use high-quality seeds that are composed of a complex set of attributes, including genetic, physical, physiological, and sanitary factors that directly infl uence the performance of seeds in the fi eld and their longevity in storage. Forest seeds have peculiarities, such as variable size and shape, nonuniform water content and germination speed, as well as diff erent drying and storage capacities. In addition, they have high genetic variability, which implies diffi culties in their management, such as the presence of dormancy, which can aff ect seed quality and seedling production. Seed germination and vigor are critical factors for the quality of forest seeds, but many species have not yet identifi ed their germination requirements. The lack of information about the peculiarities of each forest species and the high genetic variability among them makes it diffi cult to standardize methods for analyzing the physiological quality of seeds, in addition to becoming an obstacle to their use in reforestation projects, since the lack of diversity in the use of native species is a concern, as it reduces variety and endangers biodiversity

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the number, risk factors, and demographic characteristics of potential human trafficking victims from tips reported to a social services agency in a major Midwest metropolitan area from 2008 through 2017. Methods: The agency, comprising 90 employees serving more than 10 000 persons annually, received federal funding to raise awareness about trafficking and to identify and support persons who are at risk for trafficking through training, coalition building, direct outreach and service, and case management. We, the authors, counted the numbers of tips and potential victims reported to the agency by year, type of trafficking, economic sector, sex, region of origin, and age and looked for new risk factors for trafficking. Results: Data were available for 213 tips received from September 1, 2008, through June 30, 2017, and for 82 potential victims identified from July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2017. Labor trafficking (126 tips, 57 potential victims) was more common than sex trafficking (59 tips, 17 potential victims). The number of tips varied during the study period. Tips and potential victims were diverse and included male and female children and adults. Most victims were from Mexico (n = 68), the United States (n = 47), Asia (n = 31), and Central and South America (n = 23). Potential victims were exploited in several industries including agriculture, construction, commercial sex, and landscaping. New risk factors for trafficking were exploitation within marriage and work in the sales industry. Conclusions: Domestic and foreign-born men, women, and children are all at risk for labor and sex trafficking. Direct outreach to foreign-born victims should be a priority. The new risk factors should be explored.

Objective:This study attempts to identify and assess the social presence of PT. Freeport Indonesia's impact on local public customs, particularly the sizable Amungme and Komoro tribes, as well as the Papuan investment climate. To gather information and meet the research goals, a qualitative approach or sociological juridical research is used. Method: This study, which employs a qualitative methodology, was carried out near PT. Freeport Indonesia in the Papua Province's Mimika Regency. The Amungme and Komoro Tribes, two significant tribes in the area, have opposing views on the existence of PT. Freeport Indonesia. While the second tribe compromises, the first tribe is very reactive.The approach used to acquire the data was conducting interviews with community leaders and distributing questionnaires to residents of the Amungme and Komoro traditional groupings. Pay close attention to people who are impacted by PT. Freeport Indonesia and those who receive business advice from the organization. Result: The study's findings indicate that the local people is affected by the physical environment, including tailings accumulation (mine industry waste) and the extraction of customary land outside of the designated bounds, as indicated in the January Agreement of 1974. PT Freeport's presence, on the other hand, has prompted other businesses to invest in Indonesia and has supported the growth of local communities' entrepreneurs through the establishment of business incubators that focus on ventures in the fields of agriculture, animal husbandry, cooperatives, transportation services, the building materials sector (tela stone, sandstone, processed wood), landscaping, and commercial art. Conclusion: PT. Freeport Indonesia is very closely related to physical environmental impacts, including the accumulation of tailings (mining industrial waste) and the taking of customary land far outside of the agreed boundaries, as stated in the January Agreement made in 1974. As a result, it is biased towards the emergence of rejection of the existence of PT. Freeport Indonesia in Mimika R. The opposition to PT. Freeport Indonesia's presence is a sign of a welfare dispute. On the one hand, strong concentration comes with good fortune, while on the other, helplessness comes with all of its pain.

The conducted research is devoted to modern decorative floriculture, which is a fast-growing industry, and its most important task is the constant expansion of the range of flower and decorative plants for various purposes in landscaping. It has been established that the source for enriching the cultural flora is the collection funds of ornamental plants collected in botanical gardens and arboretums as the main centers for the preservation of the gene pool of many plants and their cultural varieties. A wide variety of decorative and valuable lupins is available in the architectural and exposition site of the Department of Forestry, Horticulture, Horticulture and Viticulture of the Faculty of Agronomy and Forestry, as well as the Podillia Botanical Garden of the Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. Decorative and valuable lupins have sufficient ecological plasticity, which is confirmed by growing in many introduction centers with different natural and climatic conditions. However, they are often not used in the decorative horticulture of flower arrangements in the Podillia area. It has been investigated that the main reason for the insufficient use of these species in landscaped settlements is the lack of information about their ecological and biological features and decorative properties, cultivation technologies and options for their use. However, the introduction of representatives of the genus Lupinus L., namely Lupinus polyphyllus L., into the culture contributes to the preservation of biodiversity and the involvement of a significant range of flower and ornamental plants in culture conditions. The replenishment of the collection of the architectural exhibition area of the VNAU with the introduced hybrids Gallery White and Gallery Red, the expansion of options for simple and complex garden compositions with their participation, their more even placement within the boundaries of populated areas will significantly bring the flower garden design of populated cities of Ukraine closer to the level of the best world examples.

In the coming decades, no natural resource may prove to be more critical to human health and well-being than water. There is abundant evidence that the condition of water resources in many parts of the United States is deteriorating. In some regions of the country, the availability of sufficient water to meet growing domestic uses, and the future sufficiency of water to support the use of landscape plants where we live, work, and play is in doubt. Conservation through water efficiency measures and water management practices may be the best way to help resolve water problems. Yet, consumer perceptions and attitudes and behavior toward water conservation may differ widely, particularly in the presence of drought. This study sought to add to the current horticulture and water conservation literature by exploring consumer attitudes and behavior during real and perceived drought situations, especially in terms of their landscape purchases and gardening/landscaping activities. Study findings could better inform educational programs and marketing strategies, helping to ensure the future demand of Green Industry products and services. With a national sample of 1543 subjects, an online survey tool was used to classify respondents into categories based on whether they accurately perceived if the region in which they lived was experiencing drought. We hypothesized that consumers were heterogeneous in their attitudes and behavior regarding plants and water conservation, depending on their real and perceived drought situations, and that their attitudes affected their behavior regarding plant purchases. Results confirmed this hypothesis. Attitudes and behaviors for those who correctly perceived they were in drought were different from those who correctly perceived they were not in drought, as well as those who incorrectly did not perceive they were in an actual drought.

Floriculture industry is one of the largest industries in India where India has an immense potentiality concerning to expansion of the product range and various commercial activities. These activities consist of flower trading, supplying saplings, greens and ornamental plants, landscaping in real estate market, floral designing and custom made products in weddings and festivities, extracting essential oils, natural dye from flowers and preparing ingredients in pharmaceutical industry. In India, mainly fresh flowers are exported from Karnataka, Maharashtra and dried flowers from Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. Although Indian floriculture exports have largely captured European, Japanese and Australian markets but International market is highly competitive due to the presence of African countries, and Asian neighbours in this segment. Except the international demand, domestic demand is also very high with growing rate of around 40% per annum. In the present scenario, Indian Export Oriented Units in this sector are mainly dependent on technological support which comes from various foreign countries like France, USA, Holland, etc. The other significant issues are related with the unorganized market structure, unscientific packaging and transportation of flowers, low level of product diversification and differentiation, high import tariff in African countries, non-availability of perishable carriers, insufficient infrastructural support, lack of quality control and certification, deficiencies in cold chain management, etc. Recently, private investments in floriculture industry have been initiated by reputed corporate houses like TATA group, Birla, ESSAR group, etc. Several initiatives for marketing and growth of floriculture sector have been already taken by the Government. However, more dynamic strategies are to be adopted by the Government along with the private organizations and research institutions in order to fulfill domestic as well as international demands of this sector. In our present study, a deliberate attempt will be made to frame a conceptual model on retail consumer behaviour of rural Floriculture Industry in Eastern India. The findings of this paper will depict the retail consumer behaviour which will help us to identify the critical factors in retail floriculture business. This study will also prescribe deliberate strategies for the overall improvement of this sector in the days to come.

Cosmos bipinnata (Cav.) is a common garden flowering plant with high ornamental value in China, and which is also widely distributed as a landscaping plant in northeastern China. During the summer of 2020, powdery mildew on C. bipinnata was observed in the garden of Best West Fortune Hotel, Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, China. More than 70% of plants in the garden were affected but at low severity, with only a few older leaves showing yellowing and wilting. Powdery mildew colonies began as small white spots on the upper surface of both young and mature leaves, and then spread to entire leaves. Conidia collected from infected plant tissues were ellipsoid-ovoid to barrel-shaped, with distinct fibrosin bodies visible in their cytoplasm, and measured 20 to 28 × 14 to 19 μm with a length/width ratio of 1.5 to 2.0 (n = 30). Conidiophores were unbranched, straight, 92 to 230 × 9 to 15 μm in size, and produced four to six immature conidia in chains (n = 30). Foot cells of conidiophores were cylindrical and 40 to 70 μm long, with light constriction at the basal septum, and followed by one to three short cells. Fungal hyphae were septate, branched, flexuous to straight, and up to 5 μm wide with indistinct to slightly nipple-shaped appressoria. Chasmothecia were absent in the collected infected samples. The morphological characteristics were consistent with Podosphaera xanthii reported by Braun and Cook (2012). For molecular identification, total gDNA was extracted from fungal colonies on infected leaves of three collections separately. For each DNA sample, the part of LSU and ITS regions were amplified using primers LSU1/LSU2 and ITS1/ITS4 (Scholin et al. 1994; White et al. 1990), respectively. BLASTn analysis of the 617bp (OP218411) and 563bp (MW166865) amplicons revealed 99.67% to 100% sequence identity with respective rDNA sequences of P. xanthii isolates present in GenBank (LSU: KY860729 and MK439610; ITS: MT242593 and MK439611). The phylogenetic trees were constructed using the neighbor-joining method in MEGA 5.0. Based on the ITS rDNA phylogenetic tree, the sequences retrieved from the specimens clustered within a strongly supported clade with P. xanthii. On the basis of morphological characteristics and molecular analysis, the isolate was identified as P. xanthii. Koch's postulates were carried out to prove the pathogenicity of the isolate. A pathogenicity test was performed by dusting conidia from an infected leaf onto young leaves of five healthy C. bipinnata plants in the greenhouse with five non-inoculated plants as a control. Powdery mildew symptoms were observed on inoculated leaves after 7 days of inoculation at 20/25°C (night/day) and 75% relative humidity, whereas control plants remained asymptomatic. The fungus on inoculated leaves was morphologically identified as that observed on the original diseased leaves. P. xanthii has been reported on several hosts in China, such as Zinnia elegans, Verbena bonariensis and Melothria indica (Fan et al. 2022; Hong et al. 2021; Zhong et al. 2022). To our knowledge, this is the first report of P. xanthii infecting C. bipinnata in northeastern China, and the information presented in this note will assist the horticultural industry on developing management strategies for this disease in China.
