Frequently Asked Questions
What is Pomology in agriculture?
Pomology is the branch of horticulture that deals with fruit crops. It includes propagation, orchard establishment, training and pruning, nutrition, flowering, fruiting, harvesting, storage, and crop-wise management of major fruits.
Which fruit crops are most important in Pomology exams?
Mango, banana, citrus, grape, guava, apple, litchi, papaya, pomegranate, and other tropical, subtropical, and temperate fruits are commonly asked in competitive exams through varieties, propagation methods, and management facts.

Orchard management is important because questions often come from spacing, planting systems, rootstocks, training and pruning, bearing habits, rejuvenation, and pre- and post-harvest practices across major fruit crops.
What is the easiest way to revise Pomology?
Revise fruit crops in tables: crop, climate, propagation, important varieties, training system, and special fact. That makes variety-based MCQs and matching questions much easier to solve quickly.
