Activities

A resume of the activities relating to the development of horticulture being taken care of by the State Department of Horticulture, with a view to improve socio-economic status of the farming community, is given below:

(i)AREA EXPANSION:-

Every year around 6000-7000 hectare area is being brought under fruit plantation all over the State for which 15 to 20 lakhs fruit plants of different species are distributed amongst the farmers. This also includes replantation of old orchards.

(ii)PRODUCTION AND SUPPLY OF ELITE PLANTING MATERIAL:-

The production and supply of the planting material of different fruits is arranged through 98 Progeny-cum-Demonstration Orchards and Nurseries and about 662 private Nurseries.

Two Plant Tissue Culture Laboratories, one each in the public and private sector, have been established for the rapid propagation of planting material. Clonal rootstocks of temperate fruits like apple, pear, cherry etc, are also being multiplied and made available to the growers from the PCDOs.
