Abstract:
The present paper discusses about the status of Hitech floriculture industry in India. The present status of commercial floriculture industry is discussed. Alongwith this, the problems and prospects of the industry is are highlighted. The floriculture industry is characterized by traditional as well as modern cut flowers. The cutflower industry is rapidly growing worldwide. While this industry is dominated by selected European countries as well as US and Japan, the production base is shifting from these countries to low cost countries like Kenya, Colombia, India and China. While much needs to be done, Indian floriculture industry has lot of potential of growth. The consumption within India is increasing with changing socio economic structure as well as effects of globalization. At the same time, India is preparing itself to take an increasing role in the world trade of floriculture, which at present is miniscule. The government has recognized the importance of this industry and hence given a special focus to this industry. The National Horticulture Mission is an endeavor of the government to promote holistic development of floriculture and with an integrated approach towards cluster development.

Abstract:
In recent years, the commercial greenhouse industry has begun to implement sustainable production practices. However, floriculture certification programs for sustainable production practices are a relatively new phenomenon in the United States. Between July and Oct. 2008, a commercial floriculture grower survey was conducted to determine potential barriers to sustainable floriculture certification. Using a logistic regression model, seven potential areas were evaluated: risk, profitability, economic viability, prior experience, education, operation size, and customer types. Although respondents had positive attitudes toward sustainability and had adopted sustainable practices, respondents had little knowledge and interest in U.S. certification.

Abstract:
Plastic products have revolutionized commercial floriculture. Even plastic flowers have caused a new marketing consideration because they are quite competitive with the marketing of live material. Plastic pots are used widely because they are lightweight, attractive, and relatively inexpensive. Plastic flats and trays have been readily accepted by the consumer, and were instrumental in the development of plug culture. Major components of automatic watering systems are made of plastic, and much of the plumbing practiced in commercial floriculture is done with plastic pipe and fittings. Plastic foams are used in floral arrangements, growing media, and propagation cubes or strips. Plastic is used to make steam-sterilization covers, shading material for the manipulation of both light intensity and photoperiod, and mulches or ground covers to help control weeds. Very large quantities of plastic are used in commercial floriculture, and recent landfill restrictions have necessitated procedures for recycling. Recycling procedures are known, but logistics and economics of recycling have not been resolved completely.

Abstract:
Filled with caustic statements on artificial plant breeding and florist flowers, John Ruskin's botanical essay collection, Proserpina (1875–86), advances a cogent argument against commercial floriculture and, by extension, the commodification of vegetal life. However, the eco-political stakes of this text have received limited attention. Past studies have primarily interpreted Proserpina as a testament to Ruskin's disquiet about Darwinism and as a memorial to his late love, Rose La Touche. In this article, I argue that beneath these scientific and personal imperatives, Proserpina urges readers to resist the consumption of floral commodities engineered by Victorian nurserymen and florists. My reading draws together the history of nineteenth-century flower breeding with recent inquiries from the field of critical plant studies in order to illuminate how Ruskin's botanical prose dovetails with present-day debates on vegetal ethics. Flower-breeding motifs figure prominently in a series of letters written for Proserpina by Rose's mother, Maria La Touche, whose contributions to this book have long been overlooked. Analyzing Proserpina's floricultural subtext will not only recover La Touche's letters from the shadow of Ruskin's love life but also underscore an unexplored facet of Ruskin's antipathy toward Darwin, who celebrated florist flowers in his own botanical writings.

Abstract:
AbstractRoses are the most important crop in the floriculture industry and attract both pollinators and human admirers. Until now, a lot of research focusing on postharvest physiology including flower senescence has been conducted, leading to improvement in vase life. However, few studies have focused on the physiology of petal growth, the perception of light by petals, and the relationship between petal growth and environmental conditions. Regarding roses, whose ornamental value lies in the process of blooming from buds, it is also important to understand their flowering mechanisms and establish methods to control such mechanisms, as well as focus on slowing the aging process, in order to achieve high quality of postharvest cut roses. Elucidation of the mechanisms of rose flower opening would contribute to enhanced quality and commercial production of floricultural crops as well as greatly advance basic scientific knowledge regarding plant biology. In this review, we describe the progress and future prospects in the study of petal growth physiology of cut roses.

Abstract:
A soil moisture sensor-based automated irrigation system was trialed in a commercial floriculture greenhouse to determine what benefits these types of systems may offer to herbaceous ornamental producers. Water use, crop quality and growth, and grower behavior toward adoption of the new technology were monitored, when all decision making related to system operation was carried out by the grower. Two cultivars of poinsettia (Euphorbia ×pulcherrima) and three cultivars of geranium (Pelargonium ×hortorum) were produced in side-by-side trials over the course of 2 years while comparing grower-controlled, sensor-based automated irrigation with traditional grower-managed (timer-based) irrigation. Plant quality was equivalent between irrigation treatments across all five trials. Differences in plant size were noted in four of the five trials between irrigation treatments, but in all instances these differences were not judged by the commercial grower to impact marketability of the crop. No reductions in irrigation water use were noted with the sensor-based irrigation system, which differed from previous research using this technology in ornamental production. Over the course of 2 years, the number of plants produced using sensor-based irrigation control was scaled up, indicating increasing confidence in, and adoption of, the technology. Managers at the facility found that sensor-based irrigation facilitated reallocation of labor from irrigation management, which was especially valuable during peak production and shipping periods. The payback period calculated from labor savings would be roughly 1.5 years if the sensor-based irrigation system was implemented throughout the facility.

Abstract:
Commercial development of new flowering potted plants is stimulated by overproduction of major crops worldwide and consumer demand for new products. The process of product development was critically examined and the role of modern plant biology research in the development process was investigated using new, non-commercial plant genera for case studies in seed biology and postproduction longevity. This examination included a review of the history of ornamental plant cultivation and the scientific literature, and observation of projects in a major, international floriculture production centre. Development work was most often undertaken by private, international breeders and propagators of new crop cultivars. Some private producers conducted their own breeding programs and successfully introduced new products. Product development consultants and discipline-oriented scientists had a significant role in development work. Crucial components of the process included identification of a plant species with potential in floriculture, active involvement of flower producers, confidentiality and product promotion. One case study investigated the mechanism of seed dormancy, and seed treatments were tested to improve germination of Lewisia tweedyi and Lewisia cotyledon. These two lewisia species were found to have dramatically different percent:; and rates of germination under axenic conditions and in laboratory experiments. Decoating increased germination from 0 to 87% in L. tweedyi which suggests that the seed coat imposes dormancy in this species. The role of the coat in seed dormancy was supported by measurements of seed coats in transverse section under a scanning electron microscope. The L. t\v eedyi seed coat was found to be 22% thicker than the L. cotyledon coat. Scarification of seeds with liquid nitrogen, infusing gibberellic acid, and an 8 or 12-week stratification improved germination in both species. Another case study determined the display life of potted plants of Dicentra eximia, Dicentra formosa, and Dicentra spectabilis. More flowers opensd in a simulated interior environment room if the plants were treated before harvest with an anionic silver thiosulfate complex. This increase in flower number resulted in a 75% increase in the display life of D. eximia (to 14 days) and a 65% increase in the display life of D. formosa (to 28 days). A similar effect was achieved by producing the plants under supplemental irradiance which also increased plant height and decreased production time. Height of D. spectabilis could be controlled by the application of daminozide which had no effect on forcing time, flower number or display life of the plants.

Abstract:
Rapid depletion of conventional sources of energy and the growing environmental concern of their use warrant urgent attention to look for suitable energy alternatives. In this regard the seeds of Jatropha curcas, constituting 40–50% bio-crude oil are considered as one of the most promising alternatives for the production of bio-diesel. It is estimated that about 1.5 tons de-oiled cake is produced from seeds obtained from one hectare of plantation, utilized for bio-diesel extraction process. Being non-edible due to its toxic contents, cost effective safe disposal of this by-product can only be possible if there is a meaningful utilization. India’s tobacco industry is the second largest in the world after China, having vast area under tobacco cultivation. The wastes from tobacco industry lead to significant environmental pollution that has severe impacts on both flora and fauna. A few studies on this aspect have revealed that Jatropha and tobacco bio-wastes have potential to be used as organic fertilizers. The present study aims at developing appropriate bio-processes and formulation that utilize Jatropha seed cake and waste of tobacco industry as organic fertilizer for improving the growth of Chrysanthemum, a flower variety valued for its beauty and fragrance and having wide applications in cosmetic and perfumery products. Pot experiments were carried out by adding specific proportions of Jatropha de-oiled cake and tobacco waste to normal garden soil. The growth and morphological parameters of Chrysanthemum plants grown in pots prepared by the treated soil were monitored for 4–5 months and the results were recorded. The results have been encouraging as the treatments lead to a significant enhancement in flower growth as well as yield. 11.5% increase in number of buds per plant was recorded for treated soil as compared to the control soil. The number of flowers per plant also recorded an increase of 16% to 24% due to the effect of formulation applied to the soil. Similar trends were observed for other parameters like flower size, flower head size, flower weight and ray floret number. Through experimentation new composted organic fertilizer formulations, tailored to specific commercial crop has been developed. The research findings would enable these bio-wastes to be used as a viable alternative to the energy intensive chemical fertilizers for floriculture, thus contributing to the mitigation of global climate change. This addition in the value chain would improve the financial viability of bio-diesel extraction process. This new synergistic organic fertilizer formulation when used as an alternative to nitrogenous chemical fertilizers would also provide an opportunity to earn carbon credits which is estimated to be € 67904 millions/year.
