"With its experienced editor, choice of authors and topics, this promises to be much-needed and useful reference for researchers and growers of tropical fruits."Professor Mahmud T.M. Mohamed, Universiti Putra Malaysia
This collection reviews current advances in the breeding and cultivation of key tropical and subtropical fruits. Part 1 reviews key advances across the value chain for citrus fruit cultivation. Chapters cover citrus genetics, nutrition and other aspects of cultivation, the use of precision agriculture and developments in integrated pest management (IPM). Two case studies on limes and mandarins highlight the range of improvements in cultivation. Part 2 summarises recent developments in breeding and cultivation techniques for a range of soft tropical fruits, including banana, kiwifruit, lychee, papaya, pineapple and pomegranate. The final part of the book covers developments in breeding and cultivation techniques for a range of stone and other tropical fruit, including avocado, coconut, guava, jackfruit, mangos and olives. With its breadth and depth of coverage, this will be a standard reference on best practice in cultivating a range of major tropical and subtropical fruits. Professor Elhadi M.
