Features: This book is based on the needs of the flower industry and provides a detailed introduction to the cut flower production and management strategies, growth and development characteristics, nutritional physiology, formation conditions of production bases, seedling technology, cultivation systems, flowering regulation techniques, pest and disease control techniques, and storage and preservation techniques of roses. It also refers to advanced cut flower production examples from abroad, introducing cut flower production techniques suitable for different regions of China. As China's flower industry is just beginning to develop, research on the cultivation physiology and flowering regulation techniques of various flower crops is still insufficient. This series focuses on introducing the latest research findings and cultivation techniques from abroad. Since most cut flowers are grown under protected cultivation, as long as the growth and development characteristics of different flower crops are understood, suitable environmental conditions for flower growth and development can be created in any region by utilizing seasons or protective facilities, making cut flower production techniques relatively universal. Based on the author's long-term research experience in cut flower production in China and Japan, the book provides a detailed description of the production and management, variety characteristics, breeding, seedling production, soil, fertilizer, and water management of rose cut flowers.
