Answer: India is endowed with rich diversity of flora which makes the country botanist's paradise. This is supported by ample diversity of agro-climatic conditions prevailing in the different regions of CHR. Vegetation in Himalayan Region is entirely different from vegetation available in Indo-Gangetic plains and peninsular India. In spite of recent developments in agricultural engineering and farm equipments mechanization of agriculture is still meagre in whole country with exception of certain regions. Farmers opt for subtropical fruits crops like mango, guava, banana, litchi in the northern plains, bael, ber, jackfruit, khejri in arid areas and almond, apple, apricot, peach, pear, plum, walnut etc., in temperate regions of Himalayan states. Although traditional fruit crops cultivation has been going on for centuries but commercial horticulture has been of recent origin. Emphasis has been shifting from bulk production to quality of produce and from total income to per unit return. Awareness among farmers and liberalisation of economy has given an impetus to the entrepreneurs for establishing export oriented horticulture. One of the most important factors contributing towards high productivity of fruit crops is quality planting material. Shortage of quality planting material is the major bottleneck in the production of horticultural crops. There is immense scope of employment and income generation through production and supply of quality planting material of horticultural crops. But lack of awareness and technical know-how for production of quality planting material hampers fruit production. Therefore, still farmers prefer to purchase planting material rather than producing their own. This can be overcome by increasing awareness and applying simple techniques which farmers can learn easily.
