From the Preface: Horticulture in India is fast emerging as a major commercial venture, because of higher remuneration per unit area and the realization that consumption of fruits and vegetables is essential for health and nutrition. In the last one decade, export potential of horticultural crops has significantly increased attracting even multinationals into floriculture, processing and value added products.
This book is a practical guide to practicing farmers of horticultural crops. Further, it is useful reference to policy makers, research and extension workers and students. The material can also be used for teaching undergraduate and post graduate courses.
