Foreword
Contrary to the popular belief as a subject of mere aesthetic gardening,
Horticulture emerged to be a very promising multidisciplinary field with unbound
potentialities assuring nutritional as well as economic security throughout the globe.
With the advancement of science, its area and scope has been widened both in terms
of concept and dimension of newer areas with newer terminologies to be understood
for better comprehension. The present book Encyclopaedia of Horticulture and Allied
Terms by Dr. A.B. Sharangi, Associate Professor, Bidhan Chandra Krishi
Viswavidyalaya, is a welcome effort in this direction.
There are many revered books available with this theme in various names and
forms, but very few books like the present one are there which cover almost the entire
range of terms associated with Horticulture and allied sciences. I like to congratulate
Dr. Sharangi for his maiden attempt in compiling such a valuable book.
I am confident that the book as such can meet the long-felt need of a well balanced
encyclopaedia of this kind for a considerable period of time. I hope the book will be
accepted widely by the shldents, teachers, researchers, amateur gardeners, policy
makers, corporate personnel and all individual readers having keen interest on the
diverse fields of Horticulture as theory as well as in practice.
