About the Book
Introduction to Horticulture, 2nd Edition is a practical and student-friendly textbook designed for high school and college-level agricultural education. The book focuses primarily on fruit culture and vegetable gardening, making it especially useful for students engaged in hands-on horticultural training and home-based agricultural projects.
The text emphasizes learning by doing—encouraging students to study real plant specimens, plant and prune trees, prepare seed boxes, construct hotbeds, identify insects, and actively participate in seasonal horticultural practices. Rather than offering a broad survey, the book concentrates on selected crops that are well-suited for cultivation in village backyards, vacant plots, and small farm corners.
Part I deals extensively with fruit cultivation, covering topics such as apple, peach, grape, strawberry, and raspberry production; grading and packing; pruning techniques; grafting; propagation; spray mixtures; and plantation care. Part II focuses on vegetable gardening, including seed planting, transplanting, garden planning, crop-specific growing methods, pest and disease management, and preservation of vegetables for winter use.
With clear explanations and practical guidance, this book serves as a valuable introductory text for students of horticulture and agricultural science, helping them develop both theoretical understanding and practical skills.
