Conventional agricultural practices are depleting essential natural resources such as land, water and soil. Simultaneously, the growing global population is directly escalating the demand for food. To address these demands, technology becomes crucial for enhancing both the quantity and quality of food production on a global scale. Notably, horticulture production in India has recently exceeded that of traditional agriculture, opening up broader opportunities. Recognizing that multiple inputs are necessary for crop production, it is crucial to emphasize the significance of high-quality planting material as a fundamental and critical factor in horticulture. The insufficient availability and low quality of planting material pose significant constraints in this regard.
