Ornamental Horticulture

Overview

Ornamental Horticulture is a fully searchable abstract database that brings you the latest information on ornamental plants, from breeding and propagation to production and transport.

Derived from CAB Abstracts, the original applied life sciences database, coverage includes breeding, cultivar trials, new ornamentals, production, pest and disease control, plant physiology, postharvest aspects and quality.

Each week Ornamental Horticulture Online delivers all the new highly-targeted, searchable summaries covering key English and non-English language journal articles, reports, conferences and books about ornamental plants.

Ornamental Horticulture Online includes a fully searchable backfile to 1976. Over 100,000 research summaries bring a wealth of current and seminal research on ornamental plants to your fingertips! (click here for a sample record) Over 6,500 records are added to the database annually.

Ornamental Horticulture is updated weekly online and is also available bi-monthly in print.
