This Trilogy explains “What is Horticulture?”. Volume one of Horticulture: Plants for People and Places describes in considerable depth the science, management and technology which underpins the continuous production of fresh and processed horticultural produce. Firstly, there is a consideration of technological innovation derived from basic scientific discoveries which has given rise to entirely new industries, markets, novel crops and changed social habits. Then follows accounts of the modern production of: Field Vegetables, Temperate Fruit, Tropical Fruit, Citrus, Plantation Crops, Berry Crops, Viticulture, Protected Crops, Flower Crops, New Crops, Post-harvest Handling, Supply Chain ...
This book focuses on the most recent environmentally-friendly technologies, such as physical treatments of heat and modified atmospheric packaging, developed to reduce spoilage and maintain the quality of produce. Internationally recognized investigators review the latest knowledge in this field. With several chapters written by the researchers who developed recent scientific breakthroughs, the book details newer technologies in heat treatment that help reduce decay, scalding, and chilling injury. Other topics include the technological revolution in transportation of produce from the producing countries to the consuming countries, and the growing trend of demand for fresh cut products.
Horticultural Reviews presents state-of-the-art reviews on topics in horticultural science and technology covering both basic and applied research. Topics covered include the horticulture of fruits, vegetables, nut crops, and ornamentals. These review articles, written by world authorities, bridge the gap between the specialized researcher and the broader community of horticultural scientists and teachers.
