This document discusses the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in horticulture. It begins with definitions of GIS and describes its key components including hardware, software, data, people, and methods. The document outlines how GIS can be used for precision farming, production prediction, spatial distribution mapping, site suitability analysis, soil classification, land use planning, habitat identification, biodiversity conservation, and stress monitoring in horticulture. Several case studies are presented on using GIS for crop suitability modeling, risk mapping, and predicting the distribution of plant species. The document concludes that GIS along with technologies like GPS and remote sensing will be important for improving farm practices and decision making in agriculture.
