About the Book

Horticulture is an important branch of agriculture which deals with fruit, vegetable, floriculture, ornamental plants, medicinal and aromatic plants. Now a day, very important changes are observed in the horticultural crops. The use of artificial intelligence also increases under Hi-Tech horticulture. Many new crops are introduced under production like exotic vegetables (Brussels sprout, kale, Pak-Choi etc.) in India. The cultivation of Dragon fruit and strawberry is also increased significantly. In floriculture the demand of Bonsai, Penjing and dry flower crafts are increasing with the awareness of eco- friendly and herbal products. Many new crops like Callalily, bird of paradise, Alstromeria, tulips are introduced in India and area of these crops also increased drastically. The use and demand of medicinal plants increased not only in India, but also demanding worldwide these days. So, considering the importance of horticulture, we focus on the current issues of horticultural crops in this book. At last, I want to mention my special thanks to my teachers, my colleagues, students and my family members who motivate me to work on this book.
