for horticultural crops more particularly fruit and ornamental ones in both urban
and rural areas of India. With this, the demand for good quality planting materials
has gone up and hence the nursery business has developed rapidly in the recent years
in our country. Nursery product is no longer restricted to orchards or large parks
and gardens. It has entered into high rise buildings, offices, factories, business
houses, hospitals, hotels, backyards, roadsides in cities, roof tops, etc. for decoration
purpose. Heavy demand is observed during festive seasons and seasons of fairs and
melas. Ornamental nursery business has, therefore, come up in a large scale in areas
near city and towns.
