Horticulture includes fruit, vegetable, flower, spice, aromatic and selected plantation crops. Match crop choice to regional climate, soil, water, market and the expertise available to manage the crop.
Fruit Crops
Fruit production depends on climate fit, rootstock or planting material, orchard layout, canopy management, nutrition, irrigation, pollination and pest monitoring. Not every fruit is suitable for every district.
Browse crops ↗Vegetable Crops
Vegetables are often sensitive to the timing of planting, water, nutrients and crop protection. Crop and variety choice should reflect local season, market demand, protected or open-field conditions and available labour.
Browse crops ↗Flower Crops
Floriculture decisions depend on local demand, season, species, planting material, canopy and nutrition, irrigation, pest management and post-harvest handling. Protected structures are relevant only where feasible.
Browse crops ↗Spices & Aromatic Crops
Spice and aromatic crops range from rhizomes and seeds to aromatic herbs. The suitable species, planting material, harvest and drying method depend on the crop, local climate and intended end use.
