STUDENT READY-EXPERIMENTAL LEARNING PROGRAMME / ELP + RHWE (0+40)
Practical
Students will practically gain hands on expertise for a semester in any two options out of commercial horticulture, protective cultivation of high value horticulture crops, processing of fruits and vegetables for value addition, floriculture and landscape gardening, production of bioinputs-biofertilizers and biopesticides, mass multiplication of plants and bio-molecules through tissue culture, mushroom culture and bee keeping. In one semester students will be working with horticulture farmers/horticulture based industries in collaboration with developmental departments, extension functionaries, input suppliers, marketing and procurement functionaries, processing industries.
