About Horticultural Science
'Horticultural Science' provides access to worldwide research on horticultural crops, science and techniques through abstracts and full text documents.
Horticultural Science includes the vast bibliographic database of horticultural research collated by CABI since 1930, plus related full text documents, CABI Reviews on horticultural crops and topics, and current news.
Coverage includes genetic resources, taxonomy, molecular biology, genetics, biotechnology, breeding, cultivars, propagation, climate, environment, soils, crop management, protected cultivation, pests, diseases, weeds, plant physiology, crop quality, postharvest treatment, storage, marketing and supply chains, and horticultural techniques and technology.
Crops covered include temperate, subtropical and tropical fruits, nuts, vegetables, ornamentals (including lawns and turf), medicinal plants, essential oil plants, culinary herbs, hard fibre plants, perennial oil crops, beverage crops (including tea, coffee and cocoa) and other plantation and industrial crops (such as plant sources of latex, sweeteners and pesticidal compounds). Wild relatives, wild plants, new crops and underutilized crops are included.
Horticultural Science includes all the records from the CABI online subsets Horticultural Science Abstracts (1973+) and Ornamental Horticulture (1976+), plus the entire archive of horticultural records from CAB Abstracts (dating back to 1930).
Horticultural Science also includes all horticulture-related records published in Crop Physiology Abstracts, Plant Breeding Abstracts, Plant Genetic Resources Abstracts, Plant Growth Regulator Abstracts, Postharvest News and Information, Review of Aromatic and Medicinal Plants, and Seed Abstracts.
ACCESS TO FULL TEXT
Over 40% of bibliographic records currently added per year link to free full text available in open access documents or held in the unique CABI full text repository. Additional full text is available through library holdings or other sources.
