Study Notes
Plant Care Techniques
- Pinching is a technique for producing well-branched, compact plants with numerous flowers.
- Pruning in ornamental plants aims to maintain size, form, and high-quality flowers and fruits.
Roof Garden Materials
- Waterproofing materials for roof gardens include PVP sheets, roofing asphalt, and Silicon APP.
- A Geotextile fabric separates drainage layer from soil in roof gardens.
Microclimate and Plant Choices for Roof Gardens
- Roof gardens are subject to high wind velocity, direct sun, and heavy intermittent rains during monsoons.
- Suitable roof gardening plants include Dracaena, while Fox Tail Palm is not recommended.
Fertilization and Disease Management
- Best fertilizer application period for landscape plants is late spring.
- Fungal diseases are most prevalent in ornamental landscape plants, whereas few species are harmed by viral diseases.
Mechanization in Landscape Management
- Mechanization increases productivity, reduces manpower, and enhances work quality.
- Challenges include affordability, availability, and maintenance of machinery.
Lawn Mowing Times
- Using a ride-on lawn mower, 1 acre can be mowed in 1-2 hours.
- A manual lawn mower can take 3-6 hours for the same area.
Tools and Features in Landscaping
- Chainsaws are utilized for cutting tree branches.
- Moving water features include fountains, while ponds and aquariums are stationary.
Aquatic Plants and Urban Factors
- Cattails are classified as submerged aquatic plants.
- Urban site evaluation factors exclude slope as it is not an above-ground characteristic.
Environmental Considerations
- Humidity impacts flowering and pollen release, crucial for seed yield.
- Frequent irrigation is needed during warm and dry winds due to increased evapotranspiration.
Soil Characteristics and Crop Management
- Clay soil is fertile but unsuitable for root crops.
- Short-duration crops such as tomatoes have shallow root systems.
- Yield in crops like tunnel tomatoes relies on vegetative growth before fruit set.
Nutrient Availability and Irrigation
- In highly acidic soils, phosphorus becomes unavailable to plants.
- Factors affecting fertilizer quantity for deep-rooted crops include previous crop fertilizers and soil type.
