  1. Divisions of Horticulture 2.01 It’s Awesome!

  2. Purpose for which it is grown • Plants are classified into the three sciences based upon the purpose for which the plants are grown! This is the Boy Scout Merit Badge for Plant Science.

  3. Biology • What is it?

  4. Zoology Botany Biology

  5. Botany • Three major plant sciences • Forestry • Horticulture • Agronomy

  6. Agronomy • Row crops • Crops that need to be processed • Soy, wheat, rice, tobacco, cotton

  7. Forestry • Growing trees for tree products • Paper, cut timber, you name it!

  8. Horticulture • Garden Cultivation • Plants grown for beauty or for fresh food (sometimes they are processed, but can be eaten raw) • Flowers, vegetables, turfgrass, fruits, nuts

  9. Horticulture • Six studies of plants • Olericulture • Pomology • Viticulture • Floriculture • Turfgrass • Nursery

  10. Olericulture • Vegetables and herbs

  11. Pomology • Fruit and nut crops

  12. Difference between a vegetable and fruit • Botanically- according to botany, anything with a seed is a fruit structure • Horticulturally- fruit is determined by what part of the meal it is from- desserts are fruit, salads are vegetables, etc.

  13. Nursery • Trees, shrubs, perennials, ornamental grasses

  14. Floriculture • Flowers that are grown for cut flower arrangements or grown for flower beds

  15. Viticulture • Grapes that are grown for juices and wine • Vitus vinifera- Latin for meaning vine of life • A glass of juice or wine a day keeps you healthy!

  16. Turfgrass • The cultivation of grass- not weeds! • Home lawns • Athletic fields • Facilities

  17. GO MSU • Go see Coraline, her dad went to Michigan State University for horticulture… Yeah! • Botanist: studies plant growth • Horticulturist: cultivates plants (like Coraline’s Dad and me!)

  18. Which Applied Plant Science? • Remember, the PURPOSE for which the plant is grown determines which of the following plant sciences the plant is: • Forestry • Agronomy • Horticulture • Example- maple trees: grown for the wood is forestry, grown for landscape is horticulture

  20. How much maple syrup does a maple tree make anyway? • Depending on the sweetness of the sap, it can take anywhere from 25-75 gallons of raw sap to make a gallon of finished syrup. The usual amount is about 40 gallons of sap to one gallon of syrup. Each tap into a tree will yield about 10 gallons of slightly sweet sap over a period of the 4-5 week sugaring season. This 10 gallons of sap, when boiled down, will yield approximately one quart of finished maple syrup. 2.
