The most up-to-date, comprehensive, and easy-to-use reference/guide to floriculture production. Covers all crop species and incorporates current and historic information from both the United States and international floriculture. Considers most of the potted flowering crops and greenhouse-grown cut flower species being produced today. Features full-length chapters on specific crop species and uses a consistent format in each chapter. Covers all uses of each species (e.g., potted flowering plant, cut flower, hanging basket, etc.), and provides general production information. Considers a variety of miscellaneous species for which relatively little production information exists. Uses nomenclature that follows The New Royal Horticultural Society Dictionary of Gardening. Features extensive tables (e.g., on propagation, production temperatures, tissue nutrient analysis, plant growth regulators, postharvest ethylene sensitivity, harvest stage, and storage temperatures of hundreds of species). For those involved in floriculture crop production and greenhouse management/operations. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
