Horticulture is the industry and science of plant cultivation including the process of preparing soil for the planting of seeds, tubers, or cuttings.[1] Horticulturists work and conduct research in the disciplines of plant propagation and cultivation, crop production, plant breeding and genetic engineering, plant biochemistry, and plant physiology. The work involves fruits, berries, nuts, vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, and turf. Horticulturists work to improve crop yield, quality, nutritional value, and resistance to insects, diseases, and environmental stresses. Horticulture usually refers to gardening on a smaller scale, while agriculture refers to the large-scale cultivation of crops

A broad question this, really the best example I can think of is how gardners will apply chemicals to change the pH of the soil. The pH should be about 7.4 - slighty alkaline to maximise growth. However in places that would receive acid rain the soil could be slighty acidic. To counteract this something alkaline would be placed in it eg calcium carbonate - chalk
