Event Format
The contest will consist of three components: General Knowledge, Identification, and
Practicum.
1. General Knowledge Examination
a. This portion of the contest will test the contestants' knowledge and under-standing
of production and retailing of floriculture crops and the selection, use, care, and
culture of these plants in the home environment.
b. It will consist of 75 questions (25 from Floristry and 50 from Greenhouse
Management) covering the following general topics:
(1) Greenhouse design and equipment
(2) Basic plant growth and function
(3) Plant propagation
(4) Plant production technique
(5) Diseases and insects
(6) Basic business management.
3. Identification
a. Each contestant will be required to identify 60 specimens from the Floriculture
Plant Identification List.
b. Each specimen will be identified by number.
c. Contestants will need to match the specimen with the correct name on the answer
sheet.
d. Students will be allowed 50 seconds per plant as well as 5 minutes at the end of
the rotation to go back and review any plant(s) and bubble their scansheet.
e. Duplicate samples may not be used in any identification portion of the event.
4. Disorders a. Plant Disorders and Diagnosis - Each contestant will complete this practicum of
five stations including diagnosing disorders and selecting the most correct
remedy. Students will be allowed 2 minutes per plant disorder, as well as 5
minutes at the end of the rotation to go back and review and bubble their
scansheet.
5. Tool Identification
a. Floriculture Tool and Product Identification – Each contestant will identify 25
items selected from the Floriculture/Greenhouse Items list (Student Copy 2).
Students will be allowed 50 seconds per tool as well as 5 minutes at the end of
the rotation to go back and review any tool(s) and bubble their scansheets.
Duplicate samples may not be used in any identification portion of the event.
6. Practicums
a. Pricing a Floral Arrangement-Each contestant will answer 10 multiple choice
questions on the pricing of a floral arrangement. Each question will be worth 5
points each. All parts of the cost, including containers, must be given to the
contestant. Questions may be asked on floral concepts, cost of parts of the
arrangement, or cost of the arrangement as a whole.
I. A live arrangement may be used, but each flower to be used in the live
arrangement must be on the floriculture identification list.
II. A picture of an arrangement may be used, (such as the FTD Book) with or
without flowers used in the contest identification list.
Floriculture CDE 2018-2020 revised 1-2020 Page 4
b. Chemical Problem Solving-Each contestant will answer 10 multiple choice
questions at five (5) points each. Questions will be based on examples found in
the National Pesticide Applicator Certification Core Manual (MX328), Chapter
12 “Calculating Dilutions and Site Size. Questions may be stand alone or
progressive in nature. * “None of the Above” should not be used as a possible
multiple choice answer. Questions should reflect the greenhouse or floriculture
IDENTIFYING AND CONTROLLING PLANT DISORDERS PRACTICUM
This practicum is aimed at developing in students the ability to recognize and recommend remedial measures for various types of plant disorders and/or pests. Included among these are environmental, nutritional, pest-related, and disease-related disorders.
Five different stations depicting plant disorders will be included. The participant must identify the item and its classification (disease, insect/pest/mites, nutritional/environmental). The participant then must determine the chemical and/or cultural controls for the disorder. Each participant will identify 5 specimens valued at 10 points each. Identifying the disorder correctly will be worth five points.
Pest and disorder items may be presented as an intact specimen, photograph or
preserved specimen (herbarium sheet, insect mount, etc.). Each specimen will be
designated by a station number. No specimens or items may be touched or handled in
any way. Refer to the Disorder Practicum Scorecard (Form 65) for additional details.
