Introduction

India has a long tradition of floriculture. As it is

an ancient creative skill with imagination and an

advanced science that played a very importation

role in the course of human civilization and its

social development.
In most part of the country, flower growing is
carried out on small holdings and commercial
floriculture has assumed importance only in the
recent past.

Traditionally, flowers have been grown in India in

the open fields, where they have been exposed to
both biotic and abiotic stresses. Hence, the quality
is not up to the standards.
In the era of globalization, the produce has to
be of International quality and globally
competitive, as there is lot of demand for
different floricultural products in the export
market. The modern floriculture will meet the
above demand of the present day’s consumers.
