Floriculture is a high-tech branch of plant production that requires deep knowledge of the biology of ornamental crops, their nutritional physiology, and protection against pathogens. Successful plant cultivation in greenhouse and open soil is based on a scientific approach to the organization of production areas, competent selection of substrates, and compliance with regulations for agrochemical support. Understanding the requirements of crops for heat and nutrients is a determining factor for achieving maximum decorative effect and maintaining the health of planting material.
This selection brings together practical materials necessary for both professional agronomists and experienced flower growers. We have collected detailed guides for all stages of the technological process: from assessing the sowing quality of seeds and choosing methods for their sowing to preparing nutrient mixtures and correcting mineral nutrition using specialized fertilizers. Separate articles are devoted to methods of diagnostics and plant protection, including an overview of modern fungicides and pest control. The provided information will help to optimize agrotechnical operations and ensure the stable development of flower and ornamental crops.
