Plant science for gardeners : essentials for growing better plants / by Pavlis, Robert,author.;
Plant Science for Gardeners empowers growers to analyze common problems, find solutions, and make better decisions in the garden for optimal plant health and productivity.

By understanding the basic biology of how plants grow, you can become a thinking gardener with the confidence to problem solve for optimized plant health and productivity. Learn the science and ditch the rules! Coverage includes: the biology of roots, stems, leaves, and flowers; understanding how plants function as whole organisms; the role of nutrients and inputs; vegetables, flowers, grasses, and trees and shrubs; propagation and genetics; sidebars that explode common gardening myths; tips for evaluating plant problems and finding solutions. Whether you're a home gardener, micro-farmer, market gardener, or homesteader, this entertaining and accessible guide shortens the learning curve and gives you the knowledge to succeed no matter where you live.
