E-book What cut Flower is That : The Essential Care and Handling Guide for Cut Flower Professionals
This manual aims to provide you with specific information about a broad range of flower products and a general knowledge of flower care and handling. In the past several decades, the Australian flower industry has changed significantly. Established growers are expanding and investing in new hybrids and cultivars of cut flowers. Many products are grown in well designed, fully computerised, climate-controlled greenhouses with precision irrigation and fertiliser inputs. This technology allows extended seasonal availability and a wider range of cut flowers to be marketed. At the same time, there is a move towards more environmentally sound methods of growing, harvesting and packaging to ensure the wellbeing of both people and the environment. At the forefront of this is a move to hydroponic or soilless production, which requires less water during production and allows water to be recycled. More growers are implementing integrated pest management (IPM) practices to ensure minimal use of pesticides during flower production.
