The Professor & Head of the department was the subject matter specialist of horticulture for Gujarat state. The Gujarat Agriculture University was established during 1972 and the Department of Horticulture had assigned the duty of horticultural work for Saurashtra region (Five districts) under college of Agriculture.

The full-fledged Department of Horticulture was started with multi-functional activities like Teaching, Research and Extension education during 1972 with the inception of Gujarat Agricultural University as an autonomous body. Since May 2004 after bifurcation of Gujarat Agricultural University, the department is also working as a part of College of Agriculture under Junagadh Agriculture University. College of Horticulture (wing) was established with intact capacity of 50 students for awarding the degree of B. Sc. (Hons.)

Fruit Crops
Mango
1	Nurseryman of Gujarat state interested to prepare mango grafts are advised to use the stone of variety Kesar as a root stock for vigorous growth and better survival against salt stress up to EC 2.0 dSm^-1 of water.	2009
2	*Scientists are advised to keep freshly harvested mature mango fruits cv. Kesar in a small cool chamber at 14⁰C with 90 % R.H. to maintain the fruit quality up to 25 days.	2009
3	It is recommended that the freshly harvested mature mango fruits cv. Kesar should be treated with Ethrel @ 750 mg /l of water for 5 minutes and kept it room temperature to enhance the ripening and get maximum ripened and marketable fruits at 9^thday.	2010
4	*Effects of climate change on flowering and yield of mango cv. Kesar It is recommended to scientific community that the climatic parameters like temperature, humidity, rainfall, bright sun shine hours and wind velocity influenced the flowering, fruit setting, fruit dropping, number of fruit per plant and fruit yield. Higher day temperature with lower night temperature as well as more fluctuation in day & night temperature disturb the flowering, pollination and fruit setting process. Similarly, higher humidity, dew, late rain or off seasonal rain during flowering also affects adversely. Mango requires 25-30 ⁰C day temperature & 15-18 ⁰C night temperature, 40-45% humidity, no dew formation, lower late rain (September), higher sun shine hours (8-9 hrs.) during floral bud initiation, flowering and fruit setting.	2017
5	*Estimation of effect of growing degree days (GDD) on phenology, flowering and yield on different mango varieties under Saurashtra Agro-climatic condition It is observed that the growing degree days (GDD) have direct influence on BDS, flowering, fruit set and various fruit development stages, but not for the physical characters of fruits. The GDD requirements of different varieties were found unique and a mango variety Kesar requires low GDD for maturity with higher Heat Use Efficiency.	2018
6	Effect of polyamines on quality and shelf life of mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. Kesar. Kesar mango traders are advised to dip freshly harvested mango fruit in Putrescine Dihydrochloride 175 mg/l for 5 minute for increasing shelf life and quality up to 12 days storage at room temperature.	2019
7	Effect of fertilizers and paclobutrazol on bearing behavior of rejuvenated mango *trees (Mangifera indica* L.) cv.
