Greenhouses and Protected Culture

The subject is Horticulture. The subject should be on an historical topic as suggested below.
Don’t forget to put your name, the paper title, and course title on the first page.
Length should be at least 7 pages, excluding the title page and illustrations.
Term paper should be double spaced with 1″ margin.
Use 12 pt Times type.
Use page numbers.
Your paper must be organized using headings and subheadings, 5 points will be deducted if you don’t.
References should be cited as necessary in the text using author and year [e.g. (Janick 2014)] and listed at the end of the paper. You should have at least 3 references. Do not use footnotes. You may follow any style manual as long as in text citations follow the author year format [e.g. (Janick 2014).
Pictures are desirable and acceptable if appropriate.
Choose only one topic. The subheads (Biological, Horticultural Technology, etc.) are not the topics. The topics are listed below the subheads, choose only one.
Horticultural Technology

• Grafting
Suggested reading: A History of Grafting http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/c09.pdf
(A note about suggested reading: Although the reading is “suggested” and you are not “required” to use it, your paper will probably be better if you do use it. If you don’t use it Dr Janick will most likely put a comment about the fact that you didn’t on your term paper.)

• Tissue Culture

• Pruning and Training

• Chemical Weed Control

• Greenhouses and Protected Culture

• Plasticulture

• Hydroponics (soil-less culture)

• Mechanical Harvesting (include harvesting of horticultural crops, you will have points deducted if you do not cover fruit and vegetable harvesting)

• Discovery of Photosynthesis

• Selection and Plant Breeding

• Rootstocks

• Photoperiodism
These are the topics that I think is much easier to write. Therefore, I chose Greenhouses and Protected Culture, which is one of the most popular topic to write about. You can choose either of them, as long as they are in the previous list.
