We are very happy to give this book titled PLANT NURSERY AND

of Science and teachers of Kavayitri Bahinabai Chaudhari, North Maharashtra
University, Jalgaon as per NEP 2020, w.e.f. June 2024-25.
As this is for non-science students, it was very challenging to write this
book in a very simplified and understandable language
This may be best for the information required for completion of syllabus as
along with description it is provided with neat, easy and well-illustrated labelled
diagrams wherever necessary.
We are confident that this book will prove a feasible assistance to the teachers
and students while teaching and learning of the topics. Adequate care has been
taken regarding the correctness of the diagrams drawn and matter written to
eliminate the routine errors as far as possible. This book is fairly illustrated and
many possible details have been incorporated.
We acknowledged with gratitude the kind of help and encouragement that
received in the preparation of this book from many of our highly qualified and
experienced colleagues.
