Fruit agriculture, also known as fruit farming or horticulture, is the cultivation of fruit-bearing trees, bushes, and plants for the production of fresh fruits. This branch of agriculture involves growing and managing orchards, vineyards, and berry fields. Key activities include soil preparation, planting, pruning, pest and disease management, irrigation, and harvesting. Fruit agriculture often requires careful attention to climate, soil quality, and water availability, as different fruit species thrive in specific environmental conditions. Modern techniques such as grafting, cross-breeding, and controlled atmosphere storage are also used to improve fruit yield and quality.
