Horticulture Science

Horticulture science is the study of growing and cultivating plants, including fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamentals. It combines biology, chemistry, and environmental science to improve plant health, yield, and sustainability. Agricultural chemistry plays a role by focusing on the substances that affect plant growth, such as fertilizers, pesticides, and soil additives, ensuring they are used effectively and safely. This field aims to enhance food production, conserve resources, and develop practices that benefit both the environment and human well-being, all while addressing challenges such as climate change and pests.
