This refers to the large-scale cultivation of flowering plants and cut flowers primarily for sale in the market. It focuses on producing high-quality flowers in quantities sufficient to meet commercial demand. It involves activities like propagation, growing, harvesting, processing, and marketing of flowers and ornamental plants.
This involves the use of advanced technologies and modern scientific methods in the production of flowers. Techniques such as protected cultivation (greenhouses, polyhouses), use of automated irrigation, climate control, use of growth regulators, and tissue culture are part of hi-tech floriculture to increase yield, quality, and efficiency.
