Pomology is the branch of botany that focuses on the study and cultivation of fruit. It involves understanding how different types of fruits grow, their nutritional value, and the best practices for planting and harvesting them. Pomologists work to improve fruit varieties, making them tastier, more resilient, and easier to grow.
This field plays a crucial role in agriculture and food production, as fruits are an essential part of our diet. By researching fruit trees, plant diseases, and soil conditions, pomologists help farmers increase their yields and ensure that we have a diverse selection of fruits available in markets.
