You will learn, or add to your existing knowledge about plants, how they work, why they do well, or not in some cases.<\/p>\n<p>You will be able to understand and relate to your site, the plants you can effectively grow there and really get to know about horticulture as a subject.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Benefits\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Whether you are looking to expand your knowledge so you can work more effectively in your own site, or obtain a good overview of the subject before deciding which areas you would like to study further, such as RHS Levels 2 and 3, this course will provide a great introduction, whilst also challenging and pushing you to find out more should you wish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Horticulture \u2013 Learn The Basics,<\/strong>\u00a0includes the study of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>plant physiology.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>how to grow and maintain types of plants,<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>provide the best environment for them,<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>their affect on the environment and<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>commercial importance of certain practices.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>protecting plants from pests and diseases,<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>regulation and control of plants commercially and privately,<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>naming, plant breeder\u2019s rights<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>covers some areas of botany with a wider scope.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Horticulture is not botany.

The formation of soils begins with parent rock. The parent rock is exposed to the elements and is weathered. Weathering is the breakdown of parent material and erosion is the movement of fragments of rock and soil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weathering<\/strong>\u00a0occurs under three processes Chemical, physical and biological. Chemical weathering \u2013 is mainly brought about by the action of carbonic acid.<br \/>\nThis is produced wherever carbon dioxide and water mix, as in rainfall. Some minerals dissolve and are washed away. Others are altered chemically when the surface is exposed to water or the atmosphere.All but the inert particles are decomposed and the rock eventually crumbles as new minerals are formed and soluble material is released.Hydrolysis is the reaction that occurs when water reacts with parent rock.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Oxidation<\/strong>\u00a0is particularly important in the formation of iron oxides which give soils their red or yellow colouring in aerobic conditions and blue or grey in anaerobic conditions. Physical or mechanical weathering \u2013 rock is broken into smaller pieces without chemical change. Occurs on exposed rock faces. Often combined with chemical weathering.Main agents are heat, frost, water, wind and ice. In temperate zones frost is a major weathering element. Water percolates into cracks, expands when it freezes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Layers<\/strong>\u00a0build up and slowly, under pressure and chemical weathering, they become rock.e.g. limestone, shale and chalk. Sands which accumulate at great depths form sandstone. Due to seismic movement of the Earth many now raised above sea level. Moving water and winds are able to carry rock particles \u2013 the greater their speed, the more they can carry (their load increases) and the more they erode, carrying pageparticles away and fast-moving rivers can carry sizeable rocks whilst slow-moving ones will drop the heavier ones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Soil development<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Occurs in the loose fragments of rock overlying the earth\u2019s crust. This is the parent material that has an important effect on the nature of the soil formed. However, it is also influenced by vegetation, climate, topography, drainage, as well as animals including man and time. Young soils are those (regosoils) that have just formed but over time they take on the characteristics that depend on the influence of the other factors to give rise to the main soil types.Topography of the land effect how fast erosion will be at points where rock is exposed. In hollows or even small undulations, particles may become trapped and tiny plants can get hold e.g. mosses, ferns, algae, lichens.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weathering<\/strong>\u00a0is extended due to the increased amount of carbonic acid produced by larger root systems and depth of weathered material increases. The process of weathering which may have taken thousands of years now accelerates as living organisms become established and particles become more finely divided.The physical characteristics of a soil are usually established by referring to the layers or horizons in the soil profile. L layer \u2013 the litter layer which has not yet been incorporated into the soil. O layer \u2013 organic layer \u2013 semi-decomposed organic material and humus.<strong>A layer<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 topsoil \u2013 the upper layer of soil from which nutrients are washed downwards. Usually darker due to significant levels of humus present. Humus is decayed organic material incorporated well into the soil profile.<strong>Layer<\/strong>\u00a0-The lighter layer below is the B layer where finer materials accumulate. In horticulture, the A horizon is referred to as topsoil and B as subsoil. The parent material below the layers is the C layer and is parent material. Its characteristics will affect the entire soil profile. The depth of each layer will vary according to the way in which the soil develops and conditions (compare brown earth and chalk upland).\n<p><strong>Subsoil<\/strong>\u00a0is usually more compact, lighter in colour and devoid of life apart from perhaps some long roots. It may be very different in structure and texture to the topsoil due to the fact that accumulations of washed down substances gather there, water drainage may not be good, it is compacted often so pore spaces are compressed. It offers anaerobic conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The topsoil is far better usually for plant growth and subsoil is not mixed with topsoil. Soil texture is largely how the particle sizes are distributed or their proportions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t\t<form style='display:none;' action=\"https:\/\/onlinecoursesinhorticulture.co.uk\/shopping-cart-2\/\" method=\"post\" class=\"eshop addtocart\" id=\"eshopprod51701992642762\">\n\t\t\t<fieldset><legend><span class=\"offset\">Order Horticulture - Learn The Basics - 150 Hours Certificate Course<\/span><\/legend><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"option\" value=\"1\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"sgloptiondetails\"><span class=\"sgloption\">Pay in Full<\/span> <span class=\"sglprice\">@ \u00a3325.00<\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<label for=\"qtySSHTB1201992642762\" class=\"qty\"><abbr title=\"Quantity\">Qty<\/abbr>:<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" value=\"1\" id=\"qtySSHTB1201992642762\" maxlength=\"3\" size=\"3\" name=\"qty\" class=\"iqty\" \/>\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"pclas\" value=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"pname\" value=\"Horticulture - Learn The Basics - 150 Hours Certificate Course\" \/>\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"pid\" value=\"SSHTB120\" \/>\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"purl\" value=\"https:\/\/onlinecoursesinhorticulture.co.uk\/horticulture-courses\/rhs-courses\/horticulture-learn-the-basics-150-hours-certificate-course\/\" \/>\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"postid\" value=\"5170\" \/>\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"eshopnon\" value=\"set\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"_wpnonce1992642762\" name=\"_wpnonce1992642762\" value=\"78c4ee08ee\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wp_http_referer\" value=\"\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5170\" \/><input class=\"button eshopbutton\" value=\"Add to Cart\" title=\"Add selected item to your shopping basket\" type=\"submit\" \/><div class=\"eshopajax\"><\/div><\/fieldset>\n\t\t\t<\/form><a href='https:\/\/adlonlinecourses.com\/product\/courses\/rhs-royal-horticultural-society-qualifications-2\/level-2-certificate-rhs-royal-horticultural-society-qualifications-2\/horticulture-the-basics\/' target='_blank' class='button btn-enroll'>Enroll Now<\/a><p class='small'>This link will open adlonlinecourses.com in a new tab.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OVERVIEW This course has been specifically designed as an introductory preparatory foundational level course, for those whose knowledge or experience of horticulture is limited or non-existent.
