Description
This book traces the growth of gardens, their history and development and provides information on the various principal horticultural practices, taxonomy and its significance, floriculture, bonsai, bottle or dish gardens, floral decorations like lkebana, and soil-less cultivation. Commercialization of the floriculture sector, a fast-growing industry, has been discussed critically. The special feature of this book is a concise treatment of pests and diseases of a large number of ornamental plants, fruit trees and vegetables and the remedial measures for their control including bio-control agents.
