    Question

    Removal of small buds to obtain the bigger flowers is called as:

    A.

    Disbudding

    B.

    Pinching

    C.

    Tipping

    D.

    Clipping

    E.

    None of them

    Correct option is A


    Disbudding is the horticultural practice of removing smaller buds from plants to promote the growth of larger, more desirable flowers. This technique ensures that the plant’s energy is concentrated on fewer blooms, resulting in larger flower size.
    Examine each option:
    (a) Disbudding:
    · Correct answer; involves removing small buds to encourage larger blooms.
    (b) Pinching:
    · Refers to the removal of the growing tip of a plant to promote bushier growth rather than larger flowers.
    (c) Tipping:
    · Typically involves removing the tips of shoots to encourage branching, not specifically related to flower size.
    (d) Clipping:
    · A general term for cutting or trimming plants, not specifically related to flower size.
