Horticulture is a field of agriculture concerned with the cultivation, management, and study of plants, including fruits, vegetables, flowers, ornamental plants, herbs, and trees. It includes a variety of methods intended at improving plant growth, productivity, and quality, such as plant propagation, breeding, crop production, pest and disease management, soil management, and postharvest handling. Horticulturists use scientific knowledge and procedures to improve plant health, increase agricultural yields, and create new kinds with desirable characteristics like disease resistance, flavour, and attractiveness. Horticulture is essential for producing fresh vegetables, beautifying landscapes, maintaining biodiversity, and fostering environmental sustainability. It covers a wide range of industries, including fruit and vegetable production, floriculture, nursery management, landscape design, urban horticulture, and botanical gardens.
