Breeding of Horticultural Crops
The book has been designed with the main consideration to serve a dual purpose of being a text and reference. Keeping this thing in mind the entire book has been divided into three major parts. The first part deals with the principles and methods of breeding adopted in horticultural crops propagated both sexually and asexually. The second part deals with the achievements in breeding of perennial horticultural crops. The third part covers achievements made in breeding of annual horticultural crops.
Fruit Crops
The book is a comprehensive and need oriented volume encompassing the latest and balanced information about various aspects of fruit culture (tropical & subtropical). Following is a sampling of topics covered. Introductory on Fruit Industry deals briefly with production statistics, social, nutritive and industrial relevance and importance of fruit production. Second provides a complete overview of all principles and practices associated with Orchard planning, Layout and Management in a very abridged manner. The third on Classification of fruit crops includes botanical, horticultural and environmental grouping in a very precise but meaningful manner. Following s give a detailed account on dif...

Biodiversity in Horticultural Crops
Biodiversity is a key factor in maintaining balance of nature and it also provides a large number of goods and services which sustain human lives. Rich biodiversity is wealth of any nation. The present volume "Biodiversity of Horticultural Crops (Vol. VI)" has 14 chapters authored by 36 scientists of various institutes which covers various aspects of biodiversity. It carries two preambles one on Biological Diversity Act-2002 and National Biodiversity Authority-2003 and second on Delhi Declaration on Agrobiodiversity Management. The chapter 1 and 2 carry information on biological diversity and assessment of endemism and biovarsity among 34 hotspots of the world. Chapter 3 to 14 deal with biodiversity in underutilized fruits of arid region, acid lime, banana in Tripura, pear, cluster bean, kale, onion, ridge gourd, large cardamom, cocoa, African oil palm and Genomics of oil palm. It is hoped that this volume will be interest of students, teachers, researchers, ecoplanners, botanists, agriculturists, policy makers and all amateurs and professional having concern with horticultural crops.
Tropical and Subtropical Fruit Crops
This new volume is a rich and comprehensive resource of the basic information and latest developments and research efforts on tropical and subtropical fruits. It presents an extensive overview of crop production techniques, processing, marketing, breeding efforts, harvesting, postharvest handling, pest and disease management, and more of banana, citrus, durian, grapes, guava, jackfruit, litchi, mango, and papaya.
Commercial Horticulture
This book entitled “Commercial Horticulture” would prove helpful in taking a leap to overcome the constraints imposed on horticultural development by providing knowledge of modern technologies like protected cultivation, hybrid seed production, micro irrigation, fertigation, organic farming, mechanization and processing, post harvest management, etc. which is intended to help in strengthening the horticulture industry. An introduction to these latest technologies is intended to accelerate commercialization of horticulture which would ultimately encourage the sustainability and multi-faceted growth of agriculture in India.
Management of Horticultural Crops
In Indian context.
Temperate Horticulture
Temperate horticulture is a very important component of horticulture as it is only confined to the hilly regions of a country. For fruit crops, it represents a group, which is physiologically diverse from the sub-tropical and tropical fruit crops grown in other regions. For vegetables and floriculture it has immense potential for the keeping the nation well supplied with off-season and exotic vegetables and flowers all the year round. This book, being published to mark the centenary year of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (1905 - 2005), strives to highlight the status of temperate horticulture in India. Articles on biotechnological and bioinformatics, genetic resources and manipul...
Postharvest Technology Of Horticultural Crops
The book post harvest technology assumes great attention during recent years since preservation of agricultural produce is a basic necessity to sustain agricultural production. It helps to add value of produce, thus having great scope for employment generation at the production catchments. In this book, the authors have attempted to consolidate different methods of post harvest technology of fruits and vegetables focusing on recent advances. This book will benefit both practicing food technologist/post harvest technologist who are searching for answers to critical technical questions of post harvest technology. Further, it will be useful to agricultural engineers, food processors, food scientist, researchers and progressive farmers and tom those who are working in relevant fields. it is intended to fill a gap in presently available post harvest technology literature
