Understanding the physiology of plants is fundamental to
horticultural studies and practice. Aimed at undergraduates, this
major textbook covers applied aspects of physiology related to
horticultural crops. The author discusses specific physiological
processes in relation to horticultural management, maintaining a
focus throughout on how horticultural practices influence plant
productivity and quality. Principles of Horticultural Physiology
begins by guiding students through the basics of plant physiology;
plant anatomy and plant classification, before covering plant
hormones, growth and development, and factors related to the
external environment including water, light, temperature and soil.
Greenhouse culture is also discussed, as well as practical
management techniques including seeding, pruning and grafting. The
book concludes with real-world horticultural considerations of
harvesting crops, packaging and transportation, postharvest
physiology and marketing plant products, as well as a fascinating
chapter on plants and human nutrition. One of the text's chief
virtues is the accessible way the author conveys sometimes complex
information in an easy to follow style. An ideal resource for
undergraduate students of horticulture, this book will act as a
guide throughout the entire course.
