Horticulture is the main stream of agriculture. The term "Horticulture" is derived from the Latin 'hortus' (garden) and culture(cultivation), which means garden cultivation. Horticulture is the branch of agricultural plant sciences that deals with the production of fruits, vegetable, nuts and ornamentals. It is a major source of food and employment. Operationally, there are several divisions of horticulture: pomology, arboriculture, and landscape architect etc. Modern and scientific horticulture began in 1928 when Imperial Council of Agricultural Research later named as Indian Council of Agricultural Research was constituted. Research centers were established through this council in every state. The research work is done at every centre. At present there are about 29 agricultural universities in our country where horticultural education and research is being carried out.
