1 Introduction to Horticulture

What do you learn in horticulture?
Learn principal characteristics of green plants, their structures, and common horticultural terminology. Understand general vegetative and reproductive growth processes and factors that influence them. Learn classic applications of fundamental horticultural knowledge. What is the main component of a plant?
Where does the word horticulture come from?
The word is derived from the Latin words hortus (garden plant) and cultura (tilling the soil). Horticulture includes ornamental and food plants that are grown with intensive and individualized care, and often in a small space rather than in an expansive field.
What are some examples of horticulture?
Miscellaneous crops include watercress, ginger, lotus, and bamboo. Horticulture, the branch of plant agriculture dealing with garden crops, generally fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. As a general term, it covers all forms of garden management, but in ordinary use it refers to intensive commercial production.
What is public domain horticulture?
Public domain Horticulture is the art and science of the development, sustainable production, marketing, and use of high-value, intensively cultivated food and ornamental plants. The word is derived from the Latin words hortus (garden plant) and cultura (tilling the soil).

Horticulture

Horticultureis the art and science of the development, sustainable production, marketing, and use of high-value, intensively cultivated food and ornamental plants.

Agronomy

Agronomyis another term commonly used in reference to food production, and refers to the management of plants grown over large areas with less intensive management than that normally provided to garden plants. Its etymology is from the Greek agros (= field) and nomos (~management). Agronomy fields are larger than gardens, so the plants grown in the

Forestry

Forestryis the science or practice of propagating, planting, managing, and caring for forests, and of harvesting products from them. Forestry, which focuses on trees for building materials, pulp, and paper, is a third type of plant-production system, considered separately from horticulture and agronomy, and is not covered in this course. See full list on open.lib.umn.edu

Agriculture

Agricultureis the science or practice of farming, including cultivating soil for growing crops and rearing animals to provide food, fiber, and other products. The term is derived from the Latin ager (field) and cultura (tilling the soil). While the Latin root means “field” and implies a larger land area than “garden,” “agriculture” typically encomp

Horticulture and Plant Propagation

Science of plants Plant science explores how a plant is put together and how its parts work together during a plant’s life cycle — from seed to seed. Throughout this course, you will study plant structure, growth, and reproduction, applying what you learn to plant propagation practices in the lab portion of this course. Science in our lives For many of you, this course might be the only science course you take. The course therefore goes beyond the subject of plants to help you to see the world as a scientist might see it. Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations based on observations and predictions. You will learn how to propagate plants, and learn about plant structure and function. But perhaps more importantly, you will learn about science as a way of understa

Horticulture Specialties

Within the industry, and also within universities, horticulture is often subdivided into specialties according to the use of the plant or plant part that is produced. Here are six of these specialties: 1. Breeding and genetics: development of new cultivars (cultivated varieties) of plants for production via sexual reproduction. 2. Floriculture: pro
