1. The document discusses the definition and branches of horticulture. It defines horticulture as the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants. 2. The main branches of horticulture discussed are olericulture (production of vegetable crops), pomology (fruit crops), floriculture (flowers and ornamental plants), and plantation crops. 3. Various fruits, vegetables and flowers are classified under these branches. The document also discusses the differences between horticultural and agronomic crops as well as the types and origins of fruits.

2. Definition of Horticulture
•The two main divisions of crop
production, horticulture and agronomy
•It is quite impossible to give an exact
definition of horticulture
•classification into agronomic and
horticultural crops varies from country to
country and even from author to author
JMUBanayag

3. Definition of Horticulture Cont.
•Horticulture is the growing of flowers,
fruits and vegetables, and of plants for
ornament and fancy - (Ohio State University n.d.) (Liberty Hyde
Bailey (1858-1954), an American scholar who can be considered as one of the
Fathers of Horticultural Science along with Thomas Andrew Knight (1759-1838) and
John Lindley (1799-1865) (Janick 2002))
•Horticulture is derived from the Latin words
• hortus, meaning garden, and
• cultura, meaning cultivation
• (The New Webster's Dictionary of the English Language,
international edition, 2004. Lexicon Publications, Inc. p.468).
JMUBanayag

4. Definition of Horticulture Cont.
• it is the branch of agriculture concerned with
intensively cultured plants directly used by man for
food, for medicinal purposes, or for esthetic
gratification - Janick (1972)
• Horticulture is the science and art involved in the
cultivation, propagation, processing and marketing
of ornamental plants, flowers, turf, vegetables,
fruits, and nuts. It is unique among plant sciences
because it not only involves science and technology, but
it also incorporates art and principles of design. -
Louisiana State University (2011)
JMUBanayag

5. Conclusions…
1. Horticulture is a branch of plant agriculture and is both
a science and an art. As an art, it incorporates the
principles of design (as in landscaping).
2. Horticulture deals with intensively cultured and high-
value crops.
3. Horticultural crops include the vegetables, fruits, and
nuts which are directly used by man for food, the
flowers and other ornamental plants for aesthetic uses
or visual enjoyment, and those used for medicinal
purposes.
JMUBanayag

6. International Society for Horticultural Science
(ISHS 2011) and Janick (1972; 2002) provide the
following descriptors of horticulture:
Horticulture differs from agronomy in many
ways but some crops can be classified as both
horticultural and agronomic depending on use
(e.g. sweet corn is horticultural, grain or forage
corn is agronomic).
Horticulture is intensive. It deals with high-
value crops which are intensively cultivated
with high infusion of capital in terms of
production inputs, labor and technology per
land area JMUBanayag

7. International Society for Horticultural Science
(ISHS 2011) and Janick (1972; 2002) provide the
following descriptors of horticulture:
 Protected cultivation, as in glasshouses and
plastic tunnels, and irrigation are common.
 The following terms are used to refer to
production units for horticultural crops:
gardens, orchards, groves, vineyards,
greenhouses, nurseries, and sometimes
plantations.

9. BRANCHES OF HORICULTURE
JMUBanayag

10. Olericulture
•The production of plants for use of the
edible parts.
•Vegetable crops are grown for their
succulent and edible parts such as the
roots, stems, leaves, young tops,
flowers, fruits, or seeds for use in
culinary preparations either fresh or
preserved in the fresh state.
JMUBanayag

11. Vegetable crops can be classified into
categories as:
•Salad crops - lettuce, celery
•Cole crops - cabbage and cauliflower
•Root crops (tubers) - potatoes, beets,
carrots, radishes
•Bulb crops - onions, leeks
•Legumes - beans, peas
•Cucurbits - melons, squash, cucumber
•Solanaceous crops - tomatoes, peppers

19. Pomology
•The branch of horticulture which
deals with fruit crops.
•Fruit crops are grown for their edible
fruits which, as a rule, are
consumed raw.

22. Temperate Fruits

23. Floriculture
•The cultivation and management of cut
flowers, flowering plants, and foliage plants
including their use in ornamental construct
such as flower arrangement.
•A term that is used interchangeably with
floriculture is ornamental horticulture.
JMUBanayag

24. JMUBanayag

25. Floriculture Crops includes:
•Bedding Plants,
• consist of young flowering plants and vegetable plants.
They are grown usually inside a controlled
environment, and sold largely for gardens and
landscaping.
•Flowering Pot Plants,
• Flowering pot plants are largely sold for indoor use.
•Cut Flowers.
• Cut flowers are usually sold in bunches or as bouquets
with cut foliage. The production of cut flowers is
specifically known as the cut flower industry.

30. What is Fruit?
•Technically, a fruit is a mature, ripened
ovary.
•Contain the seed (ripened ovules) and
pericarp (the tissue that surrounds the
seeds)
•Two main functions:
•to prevent the seeds from drying
•to disperse the seeds.

38. Types of fruits: Description
2. Dry fruits may be indehiscent or dehiscent.
a. Indehiscent fruits are those that do not split open at maturity and
are usually one- or two-seeded.
1) Achene is a single-seeded fruit with seed attached at only one place
to the pericarp. Sunflower, strawberry, buckwheat.
2) Caryopsis fruit is similar to an achene; however, the pericarp sticks
or clings to the seed. Corn, rice, barley, rye, amaranth, sorghum, oat,
and wheat.
3) A samara is usually single-seeded with a membranous wing.
Examples are maple, elm, and ash.
4) A nut is hard, one-seeded fruit. Oak, walnut, filbert, and hickory.
5) A uricle is like an achene, but the ovary wall fits loosely around the
seed. Examples are finger millet and pigweed.
6) A nutlet is a small version of a nut. Birch and hornbeam.

b. Dehiscent fruits are fruits that split open upon maturation.
1) A legume (pod) is composed of a single carpel and has two
longitudinal sutures. Soybeans, green beans, and peas.
2) A follicle is composed of a single carpel and splits open along one
suture. Milkweed.
3) A capsule is composed of more than one carpel that are united and
form many-seeded fruits. Okra and cotton.
4) A pyxis is a type of capsule with a lid that falls from the fruit. An
example is purslane.
