Horticulture

During practical classes, the students are exposed to hands on training on orchard layout, pitting, planting, media preparation, potting and repotting, preparation and application of growth regulators, different propagation methods, nursery raising of vegetables, training, pruning, harvesting, lawn making, varietal identification, preparation of processed products from fruits and vegetables etc.

In addition to providing hands on training, KIA students have also established some model units such as Herbal garden, Butterfly garden, Exotic/Minor fruits garden and Rose garden as part of their project work. These model units will serve as germ plasm resources for identification of different varieties and species. The innovative ideas from the students are being carefully scrutinized every year and used for establishing different such units with financial assistance. Students are also given hands on training on layering and grafting techniques and boquet making.
