The cut flower and foliage industry is a global business with major
production locations in North America, South America, Central
America, East Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and
New Zealand. Few other horticulture crops are as ubiquitous, yet
the production techniques and challenges are universal. This book
describes the main international production locations and markets,
including current trends and directions. The focus is on production
in protected cultivation. The major species - including rose,
chrysanthemum, carnation, orchid and gerbera - dominate the global
market and these are individually explored in detail. Specialty
species and cut foliages are also addressed, as well as significant
details of production, including irrigation and fertilization,
disease and disease management, and biological control of pests.
Finally, the postharvest chapter covers details of harvesting,
transporting and delivering high quality flowers that provide an
excellent vase life. Highly illustrated with color photos
throughout, this is an essential resource for students and
researchers in horticulture, growers and producers, and those in
the floriculture industry.
