Next Generation Science/Common Core Standards
Addressed!
  • WHST.11-12 Gather relevant information from
    multiple authoritative print and digital sources,
    using advanced searches effectively assess the
    strengths and limitations of each source in terms
    of the specific task, purpose, and audience
    integrate information into the text selectively
    to maintain the flow of ideas, avoiding
    plagiarism and overreliance on any one source and
    following a standard format for citation.
    (HS-LS1-3).8
  • SL.11-12.5 Make strategic use of digital media
    (e.g., textual, graphical, audio, visual, and
    interactive elements) in presentations to enhance
    understanding of findings, reasoning, and
    evidence and to add interest. (HS-LS1-2)

Bell Work
  • Describe the popularity of horticulture.
  • Explain the importance of the ornamental
    horticulture industry.
  • Explain the importance of the olericulture
    industry.
  • Explain the importance of the pomology industry.

4
Interest Approach
  • Collect a copy of a grocery store advertisement.
    There are many products available made from
    vegetables, fruits, and nuts. A carrot is a
    vegetable and some juices are made from a carrot
    base. Strawberries are fruits and are found in
    many products such as jellies and strawberry
    ice-cream. Peanuts are nuts and peanut butter is
    made with these. Give examples of vegetables,
    fruits, and nuts. What products made from
    horticultural crops can you find in the
    advertisements? List the class findings. What
    kind of variety can you see in these items?

Why is the horticulture industry popular?
  • I. The popularity of horticulture is due to both
    the free attitudes of people in the 1960s and
    1970s and the more environmentally concerned
    people of the 1980s and 1990s. Horticulture is
    popular and important in all societies, both rich
    and poor.

7
  • A. The popularity of horticulture has had many
    advantages. An increase in jobs, increase in
    food for humans and animals, and an increase in
    aesthetic pleasure are just some of the
    advantages.

8
  • B. Education and training required for people
    wanting to become involved in the horticulture
    industry has led to increased enrollment in
    horticultural and agronomic programs at land
    grand and two-year college programs. Students
    who plan to study horticulture can earn an
    associates, bachelors, masters, or doctoral
    degree. Earning a degree offers a better chance
    at finding a high-paying job in the horticulture
    industry. There is currently a shortage of
    individuals with agronomy degrees. Jobs are
    waiting!

Why is the ornamental horticulture industry
important?
  • II. The ornamental horticulture industry is made
    up of two important segments. One is
    floriculture, the culture of cut flowers, and the
    other is landscape horticulture, producing and
    using plants to beautify the environment.
  • Picture From www.lwflowers.com

10
  • A. Floriculture is an international,
    multibillion dollar industry. Floriculture
    includes the production, distribution, and
    processing of flowering and foliage plants.
    Floral production is the growing of flowering or
    foliage crops to maturity. Once mature they are
    sold. Mature plants can be sold as cut flowers
    or foliage, potted flowering plants, foliage
    plants, or bedding plants

11
  • B. Landscape horticulture is a billion-dollar
    industry in the United States. Annually over 40
    billion were spent on landscape and gardening
    products alone. In addition, over 13 billion
    were spent on professional landscape and lawn
    services. This is a 900 million increase over
    the previous year. These figures suggest that
    millions of people value a beautiful outdoor
    environment.

12
Why is the olericulture industry important?
  • III. Olericulture is the area of horticulture
    that involves the production of vegetable food
    crops. Vegetables are not only important to our
    daily nutrition, theyre also important to the
    U.S. agricultural economy.

13
  • Vegetables make up over 14 billion of the 202
    billion U.S. farm receipts. Vegetables are a
    commodity both fresh and processed. California
    is the leader in both fresh and processed
    vegetables in the U.S. Other states leading in
    the fresh vegetable market are Florida, Arizona,
    Georgia, and Texas.
  • Chili is grown across NM with the majority of the
    crop grown in the Las Cruces/Hatch area.
    Lettuce, cabbage and onions are common in Dona
    Ana and Luna counties.

14
  • B. Vegetables are grown on 1 percent of the
    total cropland in the U.S. This amount has been
    relatively stable for the past 25 years.
    However, the production of vegetables has
    increased. The increase in production on
    virtually the same amount of land is the result
    of increased technology and more efficient
    production practices and new plant varieties.

15
Why is the pomology industry important?
  • IV. Pomology is the area of horticulture that
    involves the production of fruit and nut crops.
    Fruits and nuts, like vegetables, are also
    important to our daily nutrition and the U.S.
    agricultural economy.

16
  • A. 3.5 million acres of the U.S. are involved in
    fruit and nut production. Fruit production
    utilizes land often unusable by other crops. The
    value of the U.S. fruit and nut crop is over 10
    billion. Fruit growing is a popular but
    labor-intensive industry. Hundreds of thousands
    of people are employed in fruit and nut
    production.

17
  • The U.S. is one of the worlds top producers of
    fruit and nuts. Ten percent of the worlds
    apples, pears, plums, and prunes, 20 percent of
    the worlds peaches, and 25 percent of the
    worlds citrus fruit are produced in the U.S.
  • New Mexico ranks 2 in Pecan production behind
    Arkansas. The lower Rio Grande and Pecos River
    valleys are home to our pecans.
