Download Free Ornamental Crop Production Technology Book in PDF and EPUB Free Download. You can read online Ornamental Crop Production Technology and write the review.

Floriculture Is A Fast Expanding Dynamic Industry. Production Technology Has Advanced With The Efficient Use Of Plant Resources Such As Water, Fertilizers, Pesticides; And Modification Of Microclimate That Surrounds The Plants As Per Need During Various Stages Of Growth, Development And Flowering. Protected Cultivation Provides An Excellent Facility For Controlled Cultivation Of High Value Crops. Hence, Polyhouses Are Made With All Modern Facilities Including U.V. Stabilized Cladding Film, Heating, Cooling, Humidification, Drip Irrigation And Fertigation Systems. The Structure And Technology Are, However, Location And Crop Specific. Moreover, With The Adoption Of Improved Production Technologies; A Number Of Diseases, Pests And Weeds Affecting Ornamental Crops Are Becoming A Serious Handicap In Their Economic Production. Indiscriminate Application Of Pesticides Has Lead To Pest Resistance And Resurgence As Well As Adverse Effect On Ornamental Crops And Also On Flora And Fauna In The Ecosystem. In View Of This An Attempt Has Been Made In This Book To Provide A Wealth Of Fascinating Information In 13 Extensive Review Chapters Like Principles, Technology And Methodology Of F1-Hybrid Seed Production; Micropropogation Of Ornamental Crops; Mericloning Of Orchids; Greenhouses And Glass Houses, Design Of Green Houses, Cladding Material, Shade Nets And Ventilation, Economics Of Polyhouse Cultivation; Insects, Pests, Diseases And Nematodes Of Ornamental Plants And Their Management; Weed Management; And Phytosanitary Requirements For Import And Export Of Floriculture Products And Planting Material. This Publication Will Be Of Immense Value And Serve The Interests Of Scientists, Teachers, Students, Policy Makers, Amateur And Commercial Flower Growers.
This collection reviews recent research in ornamentals. Part 1 discusses advances in understanding plant physiology, genetic diversity and breeding techniques. Part 2 surveys advances in cultivation techniques in areas such as nutrition, irrigation, protected cultivation and pest management.
-Explain exclusively on production technology of 29 most commonly cultivated ornamental plants and related aspects of postharvest management of various commercial ventures -Each chapter gives a succinct accrued of significant scientific works carried out worldwide -Detailed Glossary of the important terms and index in provided at the end of the work -Book will cater to the needs of students, teachers, researchers, horticultural, training centre's and department officers engaged in the field of horticulture and over all to the growers to generate more income
The volume on oilseed crops is developed as a part of a series on “Handbook of Agrobiodiversity: Conservation and Use of Plant Genetic Resources”. The handbook would function as a ready reference book for availability of PGR globally, along with specific source, wherefrom they can be procured, and used breeding programs, particularly to overcome various crop production constraints and to improve productivity and quality. The volume on floriculture and ornamental plants will be the source of basic information on origin and evolution and global dispersal of cultivated species of ornamentals. Presently, floriculture has established its credibility in improving income through increased productivity, generating employment and in enhancing exports. All research and developmental activities on ornamental crops are essentially multi-disciplinary in nature recognizing local issues as well as country issue. Floriculture is developing as an area of high technology based frontier interdisciplinary area on scientific excellence. Floriculture has progressed both scientifically and commercially due to concentrated efforts made on multidisciplinary research. It is developing as an area of high technology based frontier interdisciplinary area on scientific excellence. The volume will contain all information about different ornamentals. This shall be put together to develop a complete documentation of the results of the research and demonstrations conducted by different scientists. The volume will provide an illustrated horto-taxonomical account of important ornamental species and cultivars, germplasm status and their usages, propagation, nursery management, techno-economics, conventional breeding, induced mutagenesis, new varieties, cytogenetics, tissue culture, characterization of varieties, dehydration of flowers etc. This volume will give a coherent and concise account on recent developments. It will deal with all the important and relevant aspects of floriculture. The publication of this volume is planned to reveal multifarious activities done on different aspects of floriculture so that innovations made so far can be used judiciously for this sector. This book shall provide authoritative review account of many aspects of current interest and progress in the field of floriculture. The topics included in the book are interdisciplinary and cater not only classical floriculture but also relevant modern aspects. The book will provide valuable data on different aspects and will be widely accepted by by professional scientists, researchers, teachers, students, floriculturists, technocrats and planners. The volume will be an invaluable asset to floriculture scientists.
