SECTION 1



HORTICULTURE



Horticulture is the industry and science of plant
cultivation including the process of preparing
soil for the planting of seeds, tubers, or
cuttings.

Horticulturists work and conduct research in the
disciplines of plant propagation and cultivation,
crop production, plant breeding and genetic
engineering, plant biochemistry, and plant
physiology.

The work basically involves fruits, berries,
nuts, vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, and
turf. Horticulturists work to improve crop
yield, quality, nutritional value, and
resistance to insects, diseases, and
environmental stresses.

Horticulture usually refers to gardening on
a smaller scale, while agriculture refers to
the large-scale cultivation of crops. The
word is composite, from two words, horti,
meaning grass, originating in the Greek,
meaning the same (grass) and the word
"culture".

THE
STUDY
OF
HORTICULTURE



Horticulture involves Eight areas of study,
which can be grouped into two broad sections,
ornamentals and edibles:


Arboriculture
is the study of, and the selection, planting,
care, and removal of, individual trees, shrubs,
vines, and other perennial woody plants.

Floriculture
includes the production and marketing of
floral crops.

Landscape horticulture
includes the production, marketing and
maintenance of landscape plants.

Olericulture
includes the production and marketing
of vegetables.

Pomology
includes the production and marketing
of fruits.

Viticulture
includes the production and marketing
of grapes.

Oenology
includes all aspects of wine and
winemaking.

Postharvest physiology
involves maintaining the quality of
and preventing the spoilage of
horticultural crops.


Horticulturists can work in industry, government
or educational institutions or private collections.

They can be cropping systems engineers, wholesale
or retail business managers, propagators and tissue
culture specialists (fruits, vegetables, ornamentals,
and turf), crop inspectors, crop production advisers,
extension specialists, plant breeders, research
scientists, and of course, teachers.
