Among horticultural crops, fruit crops play an important role in
nutritional value and income security of the world. With increasing
population, there is tremendous pressure on establishment of new
orchards with the introduction of non-traditional fruit crops to meet
the ever rising demand. However, the successful performance of
orchard depends on the application of advance technology.
Therefore, it is critical that a potential fruit grower makes correction
decisions based upon sound information on agro-ecology,
management of fruit orchard and marketing chain. One potential
solution in making appropriate decision in orchard development and
post-harvest management is the automated Geographic Information
System (GIS), a computer-assisted system for the capture, storage,
retrieval, analysis, manipulate geographic data in various formats
and display of spatial data. GIS is a kind of precision agriculture
which is helping in increase productivity with minimal input which
inturn increases the cost-benefit economics of agricultural crops
including fruit orchards. In the paper, potential use of GIS techniques
in land suitability, climatic, ecological suitability, nutrients
management, yield monitoring, germplasm management and pest
and diseases management and marketing of various fruit crops are
reviewed. Few constrains of GIS technique are discussed.
