, Ans: What is the proper term to describe the cold treatment, which lasts several
weeks and precedes initiation of flower buds?
9). True- for temperatures maintained within the broad optimum temperatures range of
50*-85* f (10*-20* c)
Ans: For most floriculture crops, the average daily temperature (ADT) primarily
controls flowering.
10). False
Ans: Scarification is the only method of breaking through hard, water-impermeable
seed coats to allow water to penetrate.

(mycelium) that repels water.
12). False
Ans: Potted flowering plants must have sufficient stems, foliage, flowers, and spuds
to provide an attractive display.
13). False
Ans: Cut flowers must have sufficiently short and flexible stems, appropriately sized

14). Plant species; naturally

silhouette appearance and them quickly becomes necrotic.
19). Boron deficiencies
Ans: _____: symptoms can begin as incomplete formation of flower parts such as
fewer petals, small petals, sudden wilting; or collapse of petals, and notches of tissue
missing in flower stems, leaf petioles, or stems.
20). Copper deficiencies
Ans: ____: Young leaves develop interveinal chlorosis, however, the tip and lobes of
these leaves may remain green. Next, the youngest fully expanded leaves rapidly
become necrotic. The sudden death of these leaves resembles desiccation.
21). True- for temperatures maintained within the broad optimum temperatures range of 50° -
85° f. ( 10-20° c)
Ans: For most floriculture crops, the average daily temperature primarily controls
flowering.
