The plants that are grown for decorative purpose are called ornamental plants. Ornamental plants beautify the area around your home, offices etc. These are the best decorative materials used while building a lawn or any kinds of garden and landscape design projects. The cultivation of these ornamental plants is called floriculture which is a part of horticulture. Although there are numerous ornamental species, ornamental plant breeding and plant breeding research is mainly limited to some major species. This book focuses “Textbook of Production Technology for Ornamental Crops” on the recent advances and achievements in ornamental plant breeding. It covers plant traits and breeding techniques that are typical for ornamental plants.
