Horticulture is a branch of agriculture that deals prominently with the study of pomology (study of fruit science), olericulture (study of vegetable science) and floriculture (study of flowers). Horticulture consists of many more domains like Post-harvest management, Genetics and Plant Breeding, Food Technology, Plant Pathology, Entomology, and Soil Science. In other words, it is majorly concerned with the cultivation of plants, fruit, and vegetable crops, their management, farming, marketing (import & export), processing, storage, packaging of the food crops, gardening/landscaping and machinery etc.
This subject empowers us with the basic proficiency of orchard management, landscaping, plant conservation, soil management, and plant propagation. It furnishes us with the fundamental knowledge that how to thrive the best profit through crop production. It is affiliated with HNBGU which is a well-known university that affiliates with many other colleges.
Agriculture has always been the backbone of Indian economy, Horticulture as a branch has always supported it. India is not only the land of spices but also the leading producer of mango, banana, coconut, cashew, papaya, pomegranate, grapes, peas and even cassava, which centuries ago only native Americans produced! We’ve earned a global reputation in this field through our rigorous and perseverent efforts in horticulture.
Horticulture has also generated employment on a large scale and led to substantial increase in farm profitability. Horticulture has also succeeded in helping crops gain higher aesthetic values and resist environmental as well as physical pressures.
A major project that ICAR has been working on is to achieve technology led development in horticulture. It has been planning and regulating several research and development programmes at both, national as well as local level to achieve that.
India has been striving for effective management and enhancement in the field of agriculture for ex. by improving technologies to improve breeding, reducing waste and increasing re-use of waste, reducing variability in yield etc.
