Horticulture is the industry and science of plant cultivation. Horticulturists work and conduct research in the disciplines of plant propagation and cultivation, crop production, plant breeding and genetic engineering, plant biochemistry, and plant physiology. The work particularly involves fruits, berries, nuts, vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, and turf. Horticulturists work to improve crop yield, quality, nutritional value, and resistance to insects, diseases, and environmental stresses. The study of Horticulture involves 5 areas of study which are Pomology, Ornamental+Landscape, Olericulture, Floriculture, and Post-harvest physiology.
p/s: I've gone through 4 semester of thick n thin in this course. as for now, i can tell it was a total blast for being apart of it. people might take for granted of the importance of living plants and their qualities. they simply destroy those natural plants in order to build new breathless concrete buildings which are not necessary. well, cant blame them all cuz appreciation needs time,patience, love,hard work n determination. All da best friends... u r half way ahead!! go! go!
