2018 ASHS Annual Conference

The world’s standard for plant propagation and horticulture since 1959, Hartmann and Kester’s Plant Propagation: Principles and Practices just unveiled its 9^th edition in 2018. Twenty one chapters are organized into five sections discussing: 1) general aspects of plant propagation, 2) seed propagation, 3) vegetative propagation, 4) tissue culture propagation, and 5) propagation of selected plants. Supplemental to the text are instructional resources that include captioned PowerPoint slides for each of the 679 Figures as well as a test bank and key of 422 exam questions. These are comprised of short answer, fill in the blank, multiple choice, and true/false and can be downloaded from the Pearson website with a unique access code. Separately, online resources have been prepared to complement important concepts in the text and facilitate learning. These include 1) storyline interactions for each chapter, 2) animation of a typical angiosperm lifecycle, 3) a web application for nearly 500 glossary terms with images/video, 4) videos of propagation practices, and 5) guest lectures of experts in the field.
