The document outlines the objectives of various horticultural practices including plant propagation, maintenance, weeding, pruning, and clearing. The objectives are to increase plant numbers, preserve plant characteristics, maximize productivity through planned maintenance, extend equipment lifespan, reduce costs, and ensure safety. Weeding objectives are to decrease crop yield loss and damage from weeds. Pruning objectives are to reduce risk of failure, shade, and maintain plant health while influencing flowering and fruit production. Clearing objectives are to reduce weed competition, improve soil and growing conditions, prevent disease spread, and enhance aesthetics and land value.

2. To preserve the essential characteristics of the plant
The objective of maintenance:
1. To maximize the availability of plant, equipment and machinery for productivity through planned maintenance. 2. To extend the life span of the plant, equipment, machinery etc., by minimizing their wear and tear and deterioration. 3. To reduce the cost of production due to plant breakdown due to improper plant maintenance. 4. To help the production department to go ahead with their production plans without any problem. 5. To ensure operational readiness of all production facilities for emergency use at all times, such as firefighting equipment, first aid facilities, alternative method of production and packing etc 6. To provide management with proper information on the cost and effectiveness of maintenance. 7. To ensure safety of staff through regular inspection and maintenance of facilities such as boilers, compressors, elevations, material handling system, conveyors , dangerous heavy machineries etc. The objective of weeding:
1. Reducing weed density to decrease crop yield loss;
2. Reducing the amount of damaged a given density of weeds inflicts on a crop; and 3. Shifting the composition of weed communities from undesirable to desirable species.
The objective of pruning:
1. Reduce risk of failure 2. Reduce shade 3. Maintain health 4. Influence flower or fruit production 5. Improve a view
The objective of clearing:
1. Reducing weed competition for light and nutrients 2. Improving soil, water, and air conditions through &water cultivation 3. Prevents Disease from Spreading 4. Enhancing Aesthetics & Land Value
