horticultural science

Horticultural science is the study of cultivating and managing plants, including fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants. It involves understanding plant biology, soil health, pest control, and environmental factors to grow healthy, productive plants efficiently. This field helps improve crop yields, maintain plant health, and develop sustainable practices for gardening, farming, and landscaping. Horticulturists apply scientific knowledge to solve problems related to plant growth and contribute to food security, aesthetic landscapes, and environmental conservation.
