Abstract

Floriculture can be defined as cultivation of flowering and ornamental plants for sales or for use as raw materials in cosmetic and perfume industries and the pharmaceutical sector. Flowers like Rose, Jasmine, Sampangi, Chamanthi, Kagada, Kanakambaram, Marigold, Lilly etc., are the floriculture crops. The persons associated with this field are called floriculturists. It has largely gained ground because of the commercialization of every religious and social event in the Indian society. This profession has become a commercial success due to the demand of its products throughout the year and that too in bulk every time. India has a long tradition of floriculture. The social and economic aspects of flower growing were, however, recognized much later.
