Floriculture focuses on what?

• A. The cultivation of flowers from ornamental plants for gardens and floristry
• B. The science of fruit tree management
• C. The practice of hydroponic vegetable growing
• D. The storage of agricultural crops

Answer: (A)

Floriculture focuses on growing flowering and ornamental plants for gardens and floristry. It involves selecting varieties, propagating, and cultivating flowers and other decorative plants used in garden design and floral arrangements. The other topics describe different areas: managing fruit trees is pomology, hydroponic vegetable growing is a method within horticulture for edible crops, and storing crops is postharvest handling. Since floriculture centers specifically on flowers and ornamental plants for decoration and floristry, this choice is the correct one.
