Commercial Production of Cut and Loose Flowers: Open Field and Protected Cultivation is a comprehensive and updated book designed to provides detailed and practical knowledge on modern floriculture with a focus on both cut and loose flower production systems.
It covers a wide range of commercially important flower crops, including 20 cut flowers and 23 loose flowers, along with their complete production technologies. Special emphasis is given to protected cultivation techniques such as greenhouse design, crop regulation, and year-round flower production. The book also includes cultivation practices for cut greens and filler crops used in the floriculture industry.
Emerging topics such as export-oriented floriculture, post-harvest management, physiological disorders, e-commerce, and the application of artificial intelligence in floriculture make this book highly relevant for modern agricultural education and commercial flower production systems.
