how do we get a better yeild of plants and what are its effects??

Question

what kind of fertilizers do we use???? what temperature does the plant need to grow???? what are the products obtained through horticulture???? what are the branches of horticulture???

Answer 1

You can build stronger soil with compost. Plants need temperatures above freezing to grow. 70 Degrees or more is best.

You can use natural or chemial fertilizers. natural are manuers or compost. Chemical are designated with 3 sets of numbers. Fertilizers or fertilisers (British English) are compounds given to plants with the intention of promoting growth; they are usually applied either via the soil, for uptake by plant roots, or by foliar feeding, for uptake through leaves. Fertilizers can be organic (composed of organic matter, i.e. carbon based), or inorganic (containing simple, inorganic chemicals). They can be naturally-occurring compounds such as peat or mineral deposits, or manufactured through natural processes (such as composting) or chemical processes (such as the Haber process).

Fertilizers typically provide, in varying proportions, the three major plant nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium), the secondary plant nutrients (calcium, sulfur, magnesium), and sometimes trace elements (or micronutrients) with a role in plant nutrition: boron, manganese, iron, zinc, copper and molybdenum.

horticulture

[Lat. hortus=garden], science and art of gardening and of cultivating fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants. Horticulture generally refers to small-scale gardening, and agriculture to the growing of field crops, usually on a large scale, although the distinction is not always precise (for example, market gardening could be classed either way). A horticultural variety of a plant is one produced under cultivation, as distinguished from the botanical species or varieties, which occur in nature. Although many horticultural practices are very ancient (see botany), comparatively recent knowledge of genetics, plant physiology, biochemistry, ecology, plant pathology, entomology, molecular biology, and soils, and the systematic application of such knowledge to practical use (e.g., in plant breeding), has expanded horticulture into an extremely complex science. Agencies such as the various bureaus of the Dept. of Agriculture, the state experimental stations, and the many agricultural colleges; organizations such as the American Horticultural Society and the various state horticultural societies and local granges and garden clubs; and the commercial flower-growing and experimental nurseries (see nursery)–all engage in developing, analyzing, systematizing, and disseminating improved horticultural practices for the benefit of both amateur and professional gardeners. See also garden.

Answer 2

I can't tell you exactly how much the CO2 intake is from an average plant, but i do know that every little contribution to the environment can help. Turn out lights, plant loads of plants, when you go on vacation, shut down the AC and Heater, etc. Buy power saving lights; they may be more expensive but they last longer, and besides what is money going to help us if global warming kills us all? But back to the initial question, you probably could make just as much of a difference by planting plants. I'd estimate that they take in maybe 10%-30%, but I have no clue. You should go to your local nursery for planting and ask an expert. They'll tell you all about different species of plant and a lot about how you can contribute. Good Luck!
