Theme areas1. Global and Indian scenario

(Production and consumption, marketing and

policy issues in floriculture and urban horticulture)

2. Landscape and urban horticulture

(Selecting plants for landscape horticulture,

cultivation, different types of gardening, advances in

design and management of green areas, medicinal

Background Information: Novelty is the primitive impartial in

floriculture sector. Combating the urban stress aesthetic security exploring ornamental horticulture could be the most viable option. It combines science based technology, architectural assessments and viewed as a high growth industry in terms of floriculture, urban horticulture, nursery business, dry flower industry etc. During the year 2014-15 about 248.51 thousand hectare area was under flower cultivation in India.

When horticulture focuses to maintain and improve the surrounding urban area it simply serves the environment against the threat of Global warming by creating green substructures, sooths eye and mind. In the last decade, there is an alarming demand of plant based aroma therapies and organic cosmetics which widen up the avenue to utilize ornamental and aromatic bioresources.
