Horticulturist

Operations

Horticulturists in India manage the production of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and plantation crops across field orchards, polyhouses, and protected-cultivation units — the sector is the second-largest agricultural subsector by value, anchored by schemes like MIDH (Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture) and the National Horticulture Mission. Employers span IIHR Bengaluru, IARI New Delhi, and Karnataka Agricultural University on the research side, and private players like Tata-Rallis, Syngenta India, Bayer CropScience, Jain Irrigation, Mahindra Agri, and UPL on the commercial side. Day-to-day work includes polyhouse climate management, IPM-based pest and disease protocols, hi-density planting, fertigation scheduling, GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) compliance for export, and coordinating FPO-linked farmers on MIDH scheme rollouts. Entry is via B.Sc Horticulture from state agricultural universities (SAUs) or ICAR institutions, optionally followed by M.Sc from IIHR, IARI, or GBPUAT Pantnagar.
