Course Details

Course: Horticulture

Horticulture is the branch of agriculture that deals with the art, science, technology, and business of growing plants. This includes the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, herbs, sprouts, mushrooms, algae, flowers, seaweeds, and non-food crops such as grass and ornamental trees and plants. It also encompasses plant conservation, landscape restoration, soil management, landscape and garden design, construction, maintenance, and arboriculture. Horticulture is a diverse field that integrates various sciences, including botany, agronomy, environmental science, and biotechnology. It plays an important role in food production, improving food security, nutrition, and environmental sustainability. 

Horticulturists aim to enhance plant growth, yields, quality, nutritional value, and resistance to pests, diseases, and environmental stresses through good cultivation practices. Horticulture also includes greenhouse management, turf management, viticulture, and postharvest physiology. With an increasing emphasis on sustainability and environmental protection, horticulture has gained importance in urban planning, therapeutic gardening, and sustainable agro-practice development. By integrating traditional methods with modern technological advances, horticulture also contributes to enhancing people's quality of life through the provision of nutritious food, beautifying our surroundings, and maintaining ecological balance.
