Course Details

Horticulture is the agriculture of plants, basically for food, materials, comfort and beauty for decoration. Horticulturists develop intensively produced flowers for human food and non-food uses and for non-public or social needs by making use of innovative skills and modern technologies.

Horticulture normally deals with backyard crops, commonly fruits, vegetables, and decorative plants. The phrase ‘Horticulture’ is derived from the Latin hortus, “garden,” and colere, “to cultivate.” All the factors of garden management come under Horticulture but it is also used for intensive business production. Horticulture falls between domestic gardening and field agriculture, on the other hand it is related with or has links with other types of cultivation.
