The different components of nursery are as follows – (Students can write any four components of the following)

1. Land- The area available must be considered before planning the nursery and the products. Soil sample testing should be done to avoid problematic and unmanageable soils. 

2. Irrigation Facilities- Required land with sufficient and assured supply of irrigation is the most important basic resource. Quality of irrigation water should be at prescribed level. 

3. Labor- Skilled as well as unskilled man power is necessary for grafting, budding, weeding, irrigation, spraying, dusting, training, pruning 

4. Electricity- The availability of power or electricity is also very important and is in accordance with the man power available. Regular supply of electricity is very essential. Electricity is required for water pumps, spraying, dusting and many other operations. 

5. Road and Transport - These facilities are also required for timely importing of stock and other material for the nursery. 

6. Mother Plants - Mother plants should be authentic and selected from Government nurseries or from Agricultural Universities. Mother plants should be selected very carefully as the sale of the nursery stock depends on the mother plants used for the propagation. 

7. Propagation Structures- Propagation structures are very essential for production of grafts or seedlings. They are useful for multiplication of grafts and seedlings. Hardening of plants is done with the help of propagation structures. 

8. Hedges and Compound - Thorny plants like Chilar (thorny creeper), golden Durante (thorny shrub), and agave are used as hedges in nurseries. Hedges protect the nursery plants from wild and stray animals, theft, etc.

9. Space for Hardening of Nursery Plants - Small shade net houses are required for hardening of nursery plants. Young, pampered seedlings that were grown either indoors or in a greenhouse will need a period to adjust and acclimatize to outdoor conditions, prior to planting. This transition period is called "hardening off 

10. Store and Office - Garden tools, implements, raw materials, insecticides, fungicides, manures, fertilizers, boards, polythene bags etc. are stored in store house. An ideal nursery has at least one well managed office for keeping all registers, notebooks, information books and for instructing the team.
