The book entitled ‘Fruit Production: Major Fruits’ contains the information on scientific cultivation of 15 major fruit crops grown in our country. Although, plenty of literature is available on various aspects of fruit production in books, research journals, popular articles and magazines. However, to keep update of fast developing information, it is important to compile it in the form of a book. The uniqueness of this book lies in the fact that, it contains latest information on nutritive value, area and production, varietal wealth, propagation techniques, production technology, plant protection and value addition very well supported by good quality photographs and tables. It is hoped that book will draw out a faithful response in students, teachers, researchers, extension personnel and fruit growers.
