International Journal of Innovative Horticulture: Considering the needs for dissemination of science based knowledge among scientists for the furtherance of horticulture science on request of members from across the country and abroad, it was felt essential to bring out a journal. Accordingly, an International Journal of Innovative Horticulture (IJIH) was started. Peer reviewers are of national and international repute. The first issue of the journal was launched by His Excellency, Governor of Karnataka at Bangalore. The Journal published by CHAI, has an international look and shall consider original papers on multi-disciplinary aspects. The journal is published bi-annually. The types of papers include Research, Reviews, Case studies, New cultivars and new technologies, Commentaries and opinions, Policy issues, Abstract of Ph.D. thesis, Book Reviews, Features, Colloquia and Workshops. The 5 volumes have been published and the NAAS also enlisted the Journal with the rating of 2.87. 6th volume (2017) of the Journal is in process of publication.
