Bagalkot's choice of the Headquarters of the University of Horticulture is justified because it has a wealth of horticultural capital. Because of the favorable climate for horticultural crops in the state, the bordering districts of Belgaum on the west, Dharwad and Koppal on the south, Bijapur on the north and Raichur on the east are also the hub of horticulture. Bagalkot has headquarters of horticulture universes, Hence, this is the correct option.
