Question

which of the following is not considered an applied plant science? 2 points olericulture agronomy horticulture forestry a farmer who grows and sells flowers practices the branch of horticulture called. 2 points olericulture agronomy floriculture arboriculture

Explanation:

• First Question:
• Olericulture is the science of vegetable growing.
• Agronomy is the science of soil management and crop production.
• Horticulture is the science and art of growing plants (fruits, vegetables, flowers, etc.).
• Forestry is the science and craft of creating, managing, using, conserving, and repairing forests. All of these (Olericulture, Agronomy, Horticulture, Forestry) are applied plant sciences. But if we assume a wrong - option - picking (maybe a trick in the question setup), there is no non - applied one among the given. However, if we consider the second - level categorization, Olericulture is a sub - branch of Horticulture. But the question is about "not considered an Applied Plant Science", and all are. But if forced (maybe a misprint in the question), perhaps there is no correct answer. But if we go by the options, all are applied plant sciences.
• Second Question:
• Olericulture is about vegetable growing.
• Agronomy is about field - crop and soil management.
• Floriculture is the branch of horticulture that deals with growing and selling flowers.
• Arboriculture is about individual tree care (like in urban settings, tree surgery etc.).

Answer:

• First Question: All options (Olericulture, Agronomy, Horticulture, Forestry) are Applied Plant Sciences. But if we assume the question has an error and we have to pick, there is no valid "not" option. But if we consider Olericulture as a sub - part (but still an applied plant science).
• Second Question: Floriculture.
