Basics Of Horticulture
The book carries information on fundamentals of vegetables, fruits, ornamental plants, spices, medicinal and aromatic plants and post-harvest technology. There are 15 chapters elaborating horticultural crops, apomoxis, polyembryony, ideal soils, climate, water requirements, pests, diseases and nematode management, biological control of biotic stresses, biotechnology of spices and mechanization of orchards. Introductory chapter deals in nut shell all about the book. The most recent information is provided along with a detailed list of references for further reading. A separate chapter on 'Glossary of Horticultural Terms' adds much value to the book as a ready reckoner to understand key words generally referred to in the science of horticulture. Eight appendices are attached narrating released varieties/hybrids in horticultural crops, research infrastructure in horticulture in India and abroad together with important web sites in all aspects of horticulture.
Spices
This book "Spices" comprehends and provides latest information on economic importance, botany, chemical composition, crop improvement, agro-technology, post harvest technology and end uses of 52 spices identified by the spices board. The book is organized into 6 chapteThe authors with their vast experience in tropical spices have brought their scientific as well as practical experience in collecting and presenting the information concisely. Although the book is a sublimate of the Indian expertise in spices, the contents are very useful and relevant internationally. the book is targeted to the students and researchers in the area of horticulture, agriculture, industry people, exporters processors and end users.
Management of Horticultural Crops
In Indian context.
Post Harvest 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
Tuber & Root Crops
Tuber and root crops are the third important group of food crops after cereals and pulses, feeding about one fifth of the world population. With the burgeoning population coupled with limited land, water and other resources, the future beckons tuber and root crops in fulfilling the country's food requirements. These crops have higher biological efficiency and greater adoption with profound production potential per unit area per unit time. Tuber and root crops are well known from time immemorial as nature's energy bank and famine savior. This book is conceived to have an updated version on the tuber and root crops especially in the Indian context, including information on the history, biodive...
Commercial Crops Technology
With special reference to India.
BIOCHEMICALS AND ITS IMPACT ON MICROBIOLOGY
Microbes and microbiomes are the unique feature of the life. Disease causing as well health enhancing but still undividable part from humans are the microbes. Prevention of disease-causing microbes is being a challenging field because of adaptation of resistance to antibiotics. Naturally occurring biochemicals are never hazardous but can destroy the growth of microbes and yield of toxins secreted by them. The disease prevention using naturally occurring agents is the emerging study of interest. The present book is the source of knowledge of biochemicals and its impact on microbiomes. Simplest methodology of isolation, identification and application is mentioned in this book. One can find most relevant data for their further biochemical research from this book. This book has revealed out the infective microbes and their prevention using biochemicals isolated from natural resources. Simple and moderate methodology with much relevant and improving result is the unique feature of this book.
Genetic Resources and Seed Enterprises
The Book entitled "Genetic Resources and Seed Enterprises: Management and Policies" addresses the three core issues vital to modern crop improvement. The first part is related to collection, characterization, conservation and evaluation of plant genetic resources with focus on biotechnology interventions. The second part analyses in depth the principles of seed technology along with focus on seed industry which is expanding fast under private sector. The third part deals with international agreements and national legislations related to biodiversity conservation, seed policies and intellectual property rights. The book shall be very handy to undergraduates and post graduate students across a wide spectrum of disciplines in agricultural universities and professionals dealing with plant genetic resources, seed and policy framework.
Flowers for Trade
The book is a classic covering flowers used in decoration of houses, offices, restaurants, hospitals and private places of rest and relaxation. For nature lovers, it is a paradise of colours, forms and shapes. Fragrant flowers, flowers for bouquet making, flowers for essences and bonsai are narrated to the enchantment of students and scholars as well.
