| book description |
Ornamental Horticulture is a subfield of Horticulture that focuses on the commercial cultivation of flowers, ornamental plants, and the enhancement of surroundings. This field plays a significant role in enhancing the overall environment and reducing visual pollution through beautification efforts. Poets and artists have long celebrated the beauty and therapeutic properties of flowers. The study of Ornamental Horticulture encompasses two main aspects: the cultivation of plants such as annuals, shrubs, climbers, trees, bulbous plants, succulents, cacti, shade-loving plants, and lawns, as well as their application in beautification programs. However, information on these topics is scattered across various books, making it difficult for students, landscapers, and scientists to access. Therefore, there is a growing demand for a comprehensive textbook on the introduction, cultivation, and management of ornamental plants in India, particularly among Horticulture students and florists. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the collection, identification, propagation, cultivation, nutritional and weed management, and senescence management of annuals, herbs, shrubs, climbers, and ornamental trees. As beautification involves the principles of art and gardening styles, the book also covers bioaesthetic planning, the basics of landscaping, and flower arrangement in detail. The subject matter is presented in a simple and clear manner to ensure easy understanding. The book includes the latest information available and features illustrations drawn from the authors own specimens, along with photographs.
