      Chrysanthemum and Marigold - Harshita Joshi

      Preface

      The purpose of this book is to introduce some standardized growing practices for Chrysanthemums and Marigolds, two popular flowers belonging to the eastern tropics. Both Chrysanthemums and Marigolds are popular among flower farmers of tropics. These crops require little care and are easy to grow because of their hardy nature. Chrysanthemums are known for their showy flowers and Marigolds are known for their nematode-repellant properties. Chrysanthemums and Marigolds have great economic value as cut flowers. A flower farmer of these crops can always find a stable demand for his/her crops in local domestic markets and/or in global export markets. In this era of heightened organic farming practices, Chrysanthemums and Marigolds assume great significance because of their biopesticidal properties.

      This book is the culmination of my knowledge on this topic and also a result of the technical education and the training that I received from education/industry experts during my graduation in horticultural sciences.
