The Indian Horticulture has grown exponentially over the years and the fruits and vegetable production has surpassed the food grain production of the country, reaching a record high of 315 million tonnes in 2018-19, making it the second largest in the world after China.

Despite challenges like declining arable land, droughts, soil degradation, and declining farmers, Indian Horticulture has achieved remarkable growth.

The Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) plays a significant role in developing improved crop varieties and hybrids for fruits, vegetables, spices, plantation crops, and medicinal plants.

TNAU has developed innovative technologies, including nanotechnologies, for preserving fruits and vegetables, which are widely adopted by farmers across India.

The 'Crop Production Guide (CPG) - Horticulture 2020' is a comprehensive resource for farmers in Tamil Nadu, providing guidance on crop varieties, management techniques, protected cultivation, drip fertigation, nematode management, integrated weed management, pest and disease control, labor-saving machinery, and post-harvest management.

The CPG - Horticulture 2020 aims to improve crop production and profitability by incorporating the latest technologies and practices and emphasizing sustainable agricultural methods.

The CPG - Horticulture 2020 provides information on using drip fertigation for efficient water and nutrient delivery, promoting sustainable irrigation practices and maximizing crop yield.
