Terms Floral production Floriculture Landscape horticulture Olericulture Pomology

Why is the horticulture industry popular? The popularity of horticulture is due to both the free attitudes of people in the 1960’s and 1970’s and the more environmentally concerned people of the 1980’s and 1990’s. Horticulture is popular and important in all societies, both rich and poor.

Why is the horticulture industry popular? The popularity of horticulture has had many advantages. An increase in jobs, increase in food for humans and animals, and an increase in aesthetic pleasure are just some of the advantages.

Why is the horticulture industry popular? Education and training required for people wanting to become involved in the horticulture industry has led to increased enrollment in horticultural and agronomic programs at land grant and two-year college programs.

Why is the horticulture industry popular? Students who plan to study horticulture can earn an associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree. Earning a degree offers a better chance at finding a high-paying job in the horticulture industry.

Why is the ornamental horticulture industry important? The ornamental horticulture industry is made up of two important segments. One is floriculture, the culture of cut flowers, and the other is landscape horticulture, producing and using plants to beautify the environment.

Why is the ornamental horticulture industry important? Floriculture is an international, multibillion dollar industry. Floriculture includes the production, distribution, and processing of flowering and foliage plants. Floral production is the growing of flowering or foliage crops to maturity. Once mature they are sold.

Why is the ornamental horticulture industry important? Mature plants can be sold as cut flowers or foliage, potted flowering plants, foliage plants, or bedding plants. In 1997, floriculture crops were worth $4 billion dollars on the wholesale market. California and Florida led in floriculture production with 22 percent and 19 percent. Of the $4 billion dollar wholesale value of floriculture crops, 47 percent was a result of bedding plant production.

Why is the ornamental horticulture industry important?

Why is the ornamental horticulture industry important? Landscape horticulture is a billion-dollar industry in the United States. In 1994, over $40 billion were spent on landscape and gardening products alone. In addition, over $13 billion were spent on professional landscape and lawn services.

Why is the ornamental horticulture industry important? This is a $900 million increase over the previous year. These figures suggest that millions of people value a beautiful outdoor environment.

Why is the olericulture industry important? Olericulture is the area of horticulture that involves the production of vegetable food crops. Vegetables are not only important to our daily nutrition, they’re also important to the U.S. agricultural economy.

Why is the olericulture industry important? Vegetables make up over $14 billion of the $202 billion U.S. farm receipts. Vegetables are a commodity both fresh and processed. California is the leader in both fresh and processed vegetables in the U.S. Other states leading in the fresh vegetable market are Florida, Arizona, Georgia, and Texas. Picture From: http://nutrition.about.com/health/nutrition/library/graphics/clipart/blindexveggies.htm

Why is the olericulture industry important? Vegetables are grown on 1 percent of the total cropland in the U.S. This amount has been relatively stable for the past 25 years. However, the production of vegetables has increased. The increase in production on virtually the same amount of land is the result of increased technology and more efficient production practices.

Why is the pomology industry important? Pomology is the area of horticulture that involves the production of fruit and nut crops. Fruits and nuts, like vegetables, are also important to our daily nutrition and the U.S. agricultural economy.

Why is the pomology industry important? In 1993, 3.5 million acres of the U.S. Were involved in fruit and nut production. Fruit production utilizes land unusable by other crops. In 1998, the value of the U.S. fruit and nut crop was over $10 billion. Fruit growing is a popular but labor-intensive industry. Picture from: www.comevisit.com/chuckali/pnp.htm

Why is the pomology industry important? Hundreds of thousands of people are employed in fruit and nut production. The U.S. is one of the world’s top producers of fruit and nuts. Ten percent of the world’s apples, pears, plums, and prunes, 20 percent of the world’s peaches, and 25 percent of the world’s citrus fruit are produced in the U.S.
