1 Plant Science Agriscience Applications
2 The Uses of Plants Without plants, the web of life cannot exist. Basic Part of the Food Chain Most of our clothing comes from Plants Our homes are constructed primarily from plant materials. Many of our recreational activities revolve around plants. Plants are essential in cooling our planet, purifying our air and the production of oxygen.

3 Applied Plant Sciences Agronomy – the science of field crop Horticulture – the science of producing, processing and marketing fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants Olericulture – the science of vegetable production Pomology – the science of fruits and nuts Ornamentals – the growing and using of plants for beauty and recreation.
4 Forestry – the science of growing trees and producing wood products.
5 Seven Categories of Plants Grain crops Sugar and oil crops Fiber crops Vegetable crops Fruit and nut crops Forage crops Turf and ornamentals
6 Understanding Plants Major Plant Parts Roots Steams Leaves Flowers
7 Functions of Roots Two Primary Purposes Anchor the Plant Absorb water and nutrients
8 Roots Often the largest part of the plant Squash can have miles of roots Adventitious roots Found in places unexpected Poison ivy Mistletoe
9 Root Two types of systems 1.Taproot- main root that usually grows down Carrots 2.Fibrous roots- thin, hair like, and numerous Grass Corn
10 Root Tissue Root hairs – Fine hair like roots Root cap- outermost part of a root hair Tough cells that penetrate the soil Pushes through soil partials
11 Stems Supports plants parts such as the leaves, flowers and fruits. There are two types of above ground stems Woody – hard and usually has bark Herbaceous – soft, full of water.
12 Leaves Manufactures food for the plant Makes food using light energy Plant food is sugar Called Photosynthesis Light Carbon dioxide + water = sugar + oxygen
13 Leaves Help in the identification of plants Leaf margins Shape and size varies with each species Simple leaves Compound leaves
14
15 Flowers Functions to produce seeds Types of flowers Basic attractive flower like a rose Ugly inconspicuous flowers like on an pine tree Pollination The union of male pollen with the female part of the flower
16 Fruit / Seeds Product of a Flower – Fruit / Seed They develop in the female part of the flower It enlarges to be come a fruit. Not all fruits are pretty and not all seeds are edible.
17 The Plant Process
18 1. Photosynthesis A series of processes in which light energy is connected to chemical energy to form a simple sugar Plant cells have chloroplast which contains chlorophyll Simple sugars are produced (glucose) Carbon dioxide is used Oxygen is produced
19 Photosynthesis 6CO 2 +6H 2 OC 6 H 12 O 6 +6O 2 Carbon Dioxide Water Glucose Oxygen
20 Factors Affecting Photosynthesis Light intensity Temperature Amount of Carbon Dioxide in the Atmosphere
21 Slowing Photosynthesis Low Carbon dioxide lowers lowers photosynthesis Greenhouses can have low carbon dioxide levels Carbon dioxide generators are often used to increase levels.
22 Slowing Photosynthesis Low Light Dark rooms Light intensity matters Temperature Best at 65-85 degrees Fahrenheit Extreme temps, high or low, can stop photosynthesis Ranges can vary from plant to plant.
23 2. Respiration Food is used Energy is released Oxygen is used Carbon dioxide is produced Occurs in both light and dark
24 Transpiration Release of water vapor from the stomata 90% of the water entering the roots 10% is used in chemical processes Functions: cooling transportation maintaining turgor pressure
25 Plant Reproduction
26 Two types of propagation: Sexual use of seed for reproducing plants only way to obtain new varieties and hybrid vigor often least expensive and quickest Asexual Vegetative – the use of parts of a plant to reproduce itself.. exact duplicate of the parent plant
27 Parts of the Flower Stamen (male part) Filament Anther- manufactures pollen Pollen- male sexual reproductive cell
28 Parts of the Flower Pistil (female part) Stigma- receives the pollen Style- connection to the ovary Ovary- contains the ovules or female reproductive cells
29 Parts of the Flower Petals (corolla) Colored part of the flower Attract insects or other natural pollinators
30 Parts of the Flower Pollen Stamen (Male)Anther Filament Stigma StylePistil (Female) Ovary
31 Flower Parts Anther Filament
32 The Seed Parts of the seed: Seed Coat offers protection Sometimes it is very hard and must be scarified (damaged) to promote germination. Endosperm supplies food for the seed Embryo is the young plant
33 Germination The process in which seeds start to sprout and grow Requires four environmental factors: 1. Water 2. Air 3. Light 4. Temperature
34 Asexual Propagation Cuttings are vegetative parts of the plant: Parts of the plant used for cuttings leaves roots stems
35 Other Asexual Propagation Methods Layering – Method of producing roots on the stems while it is still attached to the parent plant. Division – Method of dividing or separating the main part of the plant into smaller parts. Grafting – Method of joining two separate plants together as one. Tissue Culture or Micropropagation – Method of using very small part of a plant to produce unlimited numbers of new plants. Cloning is accomplished by this process

37 Plant Growing Media Soil is the top layer of the earth’s surface and is the primary medium for cultivated plants. Other Types of Media Sphagunm moss Perlite – volcanic glass, great for starting new plants, and is uses in many media mixes
38 Soil and Plant Media Vermiculite – mineral mica-type material and is great for stating plant seeds, cuttings, and media mixes Peat Moss – used in media mixes for its water holding ability.
39 Factors Affecting Plant Growth
40 1. Soil pH The amount or percentage of Hydrogen in the Soil. Improper pH affects availability of nutrients Ph Scale
41 Amending soil pH
42
43 Lime is usually applied as finely ground dolomitic limestone calcium magnesium
44 2. Fertilizers A material added to the soil to supply plants with needed minerals.
45 Meeting the Needs of the Plant Macronutrients – Needed in large amounts Carbon (C) Hydrogen (H) Oxygen (O) Nitrogen (N) Phosphorus (P) Potassium (K)
46 Calcium (Ca) Magnessium (Mg) Sulfur (S) Micronutrients – Needed in small amounts Chlorine (Cl) Manganese (Mg) Iron (Fe)
47 Zinc (Zn) Copper (Cu) Boron (B)
48 Fertilizers Basic Fertilizers contain Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium Example: 10-10-10 (10%N, 10%P, and 10%K)
49 Fertilizers Fertilizers must become soluble (liquid form) before they can be used by plants Organic fertilizers Manure Bone meal (phosphorus) Soybean meal
50 Fertilizers Organic fertilizers slow acting long lasting lacking some primary nutrients Inorganic _ Commercial fertilizer High level of nutrients
51 Fertilizer Application Methods Broadcasting – spreading evenly over the entire surface. Side-dressing – placing fertilizer in bands about 8 inches from growing plants Chemigation – mixing soluble fertilizers into the water supply system. Foliar Application – Spraying fertilizer directly onto the leaves of plants.
