  • Introduction to Horticulture 3
    1 Introduction to Horticu ltu re INTRODUCTION Horticulture is a science, as well as, an art of production, utilisation and improvement of horticultural crops, such as fruits and vegetables, spices and condiments, ornamental, plantation, medicinal and aromatic plants. Horticultural crops require intense care in planting, carrying out intercultural operations, manipulation of growth, harvesting, packaging, marketing, storage and processing. India is the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world after China. In India, about 55–60 per cent of the total population depends on agriculture and allied activities. Horticultural crops constitute a significant portion of the total agricultural produce in India. They cover a wide cultivation area and contribute about 28 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). These crops account for 37 per cent of the total exports of agricultural commodities from India. SESSION 1: HORTICULTURE AND ITS IMPORTANCE The term horticulture is derived from two Latin words hortus, meaning ‘garden’, and cultura meaning ‘cultivation’. It refers to crops cultivated in an enclosure, i.e., garden cultivation. Chapter -1.indd 1 11-07-2018 11:33:32 NOTES Features and importance Horticulture crops perform a vital role in the Indian economy by generating employment, providing raw material to various food processing industries, and higher farm profitability due to higher production and export earnings from foreign exchange. (a) Horticulture crops are a source of variability in farm produce and diets. (b) They are a source of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, flavour, aroma, dietary fibres, etc. (c) They contain health benefiting compounds and medicines.
