Olericulture a specialized discipline of horticulture in which growing vegetables is more closely examined.
Specifically it concerns the production of edible plants. Currently, there are nine categories which fall into olericulture. They are:
Potherbs and greens – spinach and collards
Salad crops – lettuce, celery
Cole crops – cabbage and cauliflower
Root crops (tubers) – potatoes, beets, carrots, radishes
Bulb crops – onions, leeks
Cucurbits – melons, squash, cucumber
Solanaceous crops – tomatoes, peppers potatoes
The skills that are associated with olericulture can then be extended into gardening in private usage. Many people get into this type of horticulture and take it up as a hobby becoming amateur olericulturalist.
