How would you explain terms like Commercial floriculture and Hi-tech floriculture?
Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
Commercial Floriculture
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.
Hi-tech Floriculture
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.
Key Differences:
- Commercial floriculture can be traditional or hi-tech depending on the scale and technology use.
- Hi-tech floriculture emphasizes innovation and technology for better productivity.
