Detailed explanation-1: –Horticulture accounts for 30% of India’s agricultural GDP from 8.5% of cropped area.
Detailed explanation-2: -Numerous crops are lost to bugs or severe climate. Another advantage of horticulture is that strains of plants that are safe from bugs or climate changes can be cultivated and developed. These strains could also be crossbred with other strains for improved flavor or nourishment or speedier growing times.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some examples are cereals, pulses, roots and tubers, sugar crops, some oilseed crops, vegetable crops and some crops to feed animals (fodder). Other crops are sown or planted once and not replanted after each annual harvest. These are called permanent crops and are mainly trees, bushes, shrubs, vines and palms.
