Activities in Greenhouse Horticulture

 

1. Characteristics of Plants in Greenhouse Horticulture

Vegetables

Tomato

Tomato is a fruit vegetable in the eggplant tribe (Solanaceae).

There are many types of cultivation that are applied to tomatoes and are cultivated throughout the year.

Tomatoes grow well in rather high temperatures, but can also grow in low temperatures.

For its growth, strong light is needed.

Strawberry

Strawberries are a fruit vegetable in the rose family (Rosaceae).

Cultivation with a high bench that allows work while standing, is increasing.

Strawberries carry out vegetative reproduction. After the process of expansion and fertilization ends, the geragih will come out. The saplings that come out at the end are used for breeding.

Breeding methods that accelerate differentiation in flower shoots have spread, and accelerated cultivation is carried out.

Cucumber

Cucumber is a fruit vegetable in the pumpkin tribe (Cucurbitaceae) (using young fruit).

Cucumber plants have male flowers and female flowers, so they can do allogamy.

However, cucumbers can bear fruit (parthenocarpy) without the pollination process.

Most cucumber cultivation is done using truss (cultivating truss).

Flowers

Flowers are also often cultivated using facilities.

The blooming time can be adjusted, and can produce quality cut flowers and flowers in pots.

Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum)

Chrysanthemum is a perennial plant.

Seedling is done by cuttings.

Autumn chrysanthemums are short day plants.

To slow down the blooming of flowers, cultivation is carried out under artificial light during the night.

Chrysanthemums have as many varieties as summer chrysanthemums, and are marketed all year round.

Rose Flower

Cut flowers from flower trees.

Roses are cultivated using facilities, and are marketed throughout the year.

Lilies

Cut flowers cultivated from flower bulbs.

There are many varieties such as easter lily (Lilium longiflorum), asiatic type, oriental type etc., and all year round they are marketed by applying low temperature treatments.

Carnation

Carnations are plants that survive and are used for cut flowers.

About 70% of the planting is done with the splash type, i.e. on one stem several flowers bloom.
