 INTRODUCTION OF MODULE

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 percent of
total exports of agricultural commodities of india
.

MANGO

Procedure:
1) Take a mango stones and wash it with clean water
2) Treat the stone with fungicide and insecticide
3) Soak them properly in fungicide and insecticide for
1 hr atleast
4) Dry it up to 2 hr
5) Put this stones in polythene bag and fill the polythene
bag with soil
6) Prepare a bed for arrangement of bags
7) Arrange the filled bag in bed with proper manner
8) Immediate irrigate the bed for good germination
9) In optimum tepm and moisture condition it takes 15-
20 days for germination
 ECONOMICS:

 FUTURE ENTERPRISE IN COMMERICAL
HORTICULTURE

1. The commercial horticulture enterprise will serve a good source

of earning for Agriculture graduate.

2. It is essential in rural region to supply quality planting material

to farmers.

3. Government should give subsidies under different schemes for

development of nursery at village level for farmers.

4. Due to suitable agro-climatic conditions and land pattern has a

vast potential for plantation of horticultural crop like mango,
guava, kagzi lime, papaya, banana, etc.

5. The coverage so far made & its success has given impact on the
rural farmers to accept horticultural plantation as a profitable
profession.

6. Return from off season vegetable like tomato, cauliflower, leafy

vegetable have encouraged the farmers to accept it as a main
source of income.

26
 CONCLUSION
1. Practices of different methods like storage, packaging and
markting of different crop and their advantages, disadvantages.

2. To make the life smooth, pleasurable with a substantial

continuous income. Horticultural is suitable profession for all
classes of people in since the geographical situation

3. Agro-climatic condition and land pattern is quite suitable for

growing horticulture crops i.e. Fruits, Vegetables, flowers &
Spices.
