The course addresses the fundamentals of growth and development of higher plants, including the response of plants to environmental stresses and how these stresses can be modified. The course covers aspects of the morphology and anatomy essential to an understanding of propagation practices, nutrition, and photosynthesis. Emphasis is given to the latest techniques in biotechnology in applied horticulture, and the necessity of plants for animal life, food, shelter, and aesthetic enjoyment. Principles of pest management in fruits and vegetables, agronomic, crops, turf, and ornamental plants are also considered. Major plant groups are used to illustrate sexual and asexual reproduction and how plants respond to changing environments. Live plant materials are used substantially in a greenhouse setting to illustrate fundamental concepts and principles of plant growth and development.
