I had no idea that such a thing even existed. Horticultural can be defined as relating to the science or art of cultivating fruits, vegetables, flowers, and plants. I mean, I knew of botanists, but a science for cultivation? Not quite sensible if you ask me.
Upon closer inspection, this science is much more significant than you think.
"Horticulturists work and conduct research in the disciplines of plant propagation and cultivation, crop production, plant breeding and genetic engineering, plant biochemistry, and plant physiology. The work particularly involves fruits, berries, nuts, vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, and turf. Horticulturalists work to improve crop yield, quality,nutritional value, and resistance to insects, diseases, and environmental stresses."
Well? What do you think? Horticulture is a useful science after all and contributes to some of our human needs as well as deal with problems. Do you think this science is just as beneficial to mankind as something like genetics or astrology is?

Astrology is not a science. It is a superstition. Astronomy is what we think you are trying to refer to.
ReplyDeleteHorticulturists are necessary for harvesting. Without them, harvesting crops for food would be very haphazard and inefficient.
Oh yeah, thanks ever so much for correcting me, friends.
