Horticulture 2 Nursery Management part 2

Nursery plants that are produced by cuttings are propagated:

• sexually.

• by seed.

• asexually.

• by amending.

Watering is more important for container-grown plants than field-grown plants because:

• spacing the pots in the nursery would have to increase.

• plants would have to be hand watered.

• roots can go no deeper or spread any wider than the container.

• plants can only live in a container for one year.

Chilling seeds to simulate winter conditions before germination is known as:

• scarification.

• stratification.

• budding.

• amending.

Soil for container plant production should be:

• porous.

• clayey.

• nonporous.

• sandy.

Field-grown, container, and pot-in-pot plants should be watered in the morning for:

• maximum absorption.

• minimum absorption

• more water pressure.

• less water pressure.

Fran stops watering container-grown nursery stock when:

• she gets tired.

• water stands in the pot.

• water runs over the top of the pot.

• water runs through the bottom of the pot.

Propagating nursery plants using a scion and rootstock is known as:

• cutting.

• grafting.

• layering.

• budding.

If Susan is planting only one nursery plant per container, the plant should be:

• cut back to the media.

• planted in the center of the container.

• planted near the edge of the container.

• root pruned.

Propagating nursery plants using a piece of the stem or root is known as:

• cutting.

• grafting.

• layering.

• budding.

Forcing roots to develop while the plant is still connected to the parent plant prior to separation is known as:

• cutting.

• grafting.

• layering.

• budding.
