| Abstract:
The importance of horticulture varies greatly between universities and faculties of agriculture and food sciences throughout the world. In some cases, horticulture departments include all disciplines and commodities, while in other cases, there are specific departments of pomology, vegetables and ornemental crops. In many cases, horticultural sciences are parts of larger plant or agricultural science departments. However, in all cases, horticulture scientists must address the basic function of training competent professional horticulturists and high-tech horticulture scientists at the graduate levels. It is also within the mission of university professors to conduct research for the advancement of horticultural sciences. The questions which immediately arise from that mission statement concern the main issues for university research. | |
