| book description |

Orchids are widely regarded as the most highly evolved of all flowering plants, and they are undeniably among the most beautiful flowers in the entire plant kingdom. These plants are capable of growing both indoors and outdoors, but they are notoriously difficult to cultivate successfully. In terms of their contribution to the Indian floral economy, orchids play a significant role, with significant export revenues generated from their cultivation. Given the diverse agro-climatic conditions in India, ranging from tropical to temperate regions, it is possible to cultivate all types of orchids. As a result, there is a growing need for a comprehensive guide on recent advances in the cultivation and management of orchids, particularly for students of Horticulture and Forestry, and florists in India. This book has been written to fulfill this need and is the result of the authors years of teaching, research, and field experience. It provides detailed information on the morphology of orchids, propagation methods, cultivation techniques, breeding, post-harvest management, diseases, and insect pest management.
