/li>
Fruit and nuts are an important group of horticultural crops, which have
attracted recent attention for the health benefits they afford consumers.
Principles of Fruit and Nut Production covers the fruit and nut crops of
temperate and sub-tropical regions; important regions of world production
where both types of crop overlap, including California, southern Europe
and Australia. The book integrates knowledge of the general requirements
of these types of crops, their botanical characteristics and unique
requirements. Important attention is given to genetic improvement,
production systems, soil and water management, plant and fruit biology,
crop protection and post-harvest issues. Discussion of sustainable
production and utilization of these crops gives an important insight into
challenges that will face future researchers and producers.
