Enriched with a number of value added features—an extended glossary of terms, a select bibliography, an exhaustive subject index, line drawings and colour photographs, and a reference guide covering more than 1000 landscape plants—this publication is a highly useful reference source for a wide cross section of readers including students and practitioners of ornamental horticulture, landscapers and the concerned scientists. The book provides at one place all the necessary scientific information about classification and identification of ornamental plants and the cultivation and management techniques for plants such as annuals, shrubs, climbers, trees, bulbous and others. Topics such as weed management, nutrition management, plant growth regulation, management of indoor plants, pruning and training of plants, Bonsai management, etc., are also covered in detail. The book concludes with an independent chapter on landscape gardening. |
