Download or read book Tropical Vegetable Production written by Raymond A. T. George and published by CABI. This book was released on 2011 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume consists of two parts. Part 1 comprises 6 chapters concerning the principles and practice of tropical vegetable production (including site, topography, soils and water; site management, seeds and types of cultivars; support for farmers; crop preparation and management; reducing pre- and postharvest losses and marketing surpluses). In Part 2, the crops have been mainly dealt with according to their taxonomy as botanical families, either as single or groups of families per chapter. These include: Alliaceae; Cruciferae [Brassicaceae]; Cucurbitaceae; Solanaceae; Leguminosae; leafy vegetables; Araceae, Convolvulaceae, Dioscoreaceae, Euphorbiaceae; Andean tubers and roots and crops of the Lamiaceae and Apiaceae; and Gramineae [Poaceae] and Cyperaceae. Examples of the indigenous species which can be regarded as important sources of edible vegetative materials which are not dealt with in the main text have been listed in Appendix 1. Contact details of the main international research stations are provided in Appendix 2. This book has been written with the hope and purpose that it will be used by technical, college and university students during their studies of horticulture, crop production and agriculture; it is also for students on other allied courses and agriculturists who find themselves needing more vegetable-orientated information in the course of their professional activities. It is aimed to assist in the production of extension, advisory and research staff and officers who will be the core of trainers, advisors, researchers and extension workers in tropical and subtropical countries.

Download or read book Integrated Pest Management of Tropical Vegetable Crops written by Rangaswamy Muniappan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is an edited book with chapters written by multi-disciplinary specialists in their specific subject areas. It covers development of IPM components and packaging them for individual vegetable crops specifically targeted to tropical countries. Scientific background for IPM components or tactics will be included. There will be case studies of IPM packages developed and implemented in different countries. The concept of IPM has been in existence for the past six decades; however, a practical holistic program has not been developed and implemented for vegetable crops, in the developing countries. Currently the IPM adoption rate in the tropics is minimal and there is a need for implementation of IPM technologies that are environmentally safe, economical, and socially acceptable. We believe that adoption and implementation of IPM provided in this book will lead to significant reduction in crop losses and mitigate adverse impacts of pesticide use in the tropics. This book is an outcome 20 years of research, development and implementation of the IPM CRSP, a project supported by USAID and administered by Virginia Tech in several developing countries along the tropical belt in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Book excerpt: The book 'Tropical and Subtropical Vegetable Crops' is divided into 2 parts, with Part I covering General Considerations and Part-II with Production Technology. The former has two chapters dealing with Vegetables: An Overview and Types of Vegetable Gardens. The latter is spread over six sections covering production technology of 33 crops. Each crop is dealt under choice of cultivars, climate and soil requirements, sowing time, seed rate, nursery practices, preparation of field, transplanting, spacing, nutrient management, water and weed management, use of chemicals and growth regulators, other intercultural practices, crop protection, physiological disorders, harvesting, yield, post-harvest handling, and marketing. Simple and lucid language has been used for easy understanding of the beginners. Questions are set at the end of each chapter to assess the understanding of the students. Though the book is primarily written for under-graduate students of horticulture, the counterparts of agriculture will also be benefitted. It may serve as a help book for post-graduate students and extension officials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word Olericulture Originated from the Latin word oleris meaning pot herb and English word culture meaning raising of plants. It is the science of vegetable crops. The crop science which deals with the production, utilization and improvement of vegetable crops. Today Horticulture production is an unstable / gambling due to climate change mean while another side land area day by day shrinking, population increases and percapita availability increasing. So we need to adaptation of horticulture and agriculture crops as per changing climatic conditions. Horticulture production goes down every year so we need to look for alternate cropping pattern and techniques like integrated linking of water resources, water conservation techniques like drip and sprinkler irrigation. Cultivation of minor millet and underutilized horticulture crops need to grow so that it will consume low quantity of water, crop duration it reduces same time more nutrition as compare to major horticulture (Underutilized Crops) and agriculture crops (Cereals and Millets). We need to adopt the heat tolerant genotypes or tropicalization of horticulture crops, utilization of waste land to cultivable land by growing salineor acid tolerant crops. This book contains chapter which describes about ‘Tropical Vegetables Science ’’. So I hope that this book will be very useful for under graduate Horticulture and Agricultural students because it’s very simplified. This book covers 28chapters, chapter 1 deals with Scope and importance of tropical and sub-tropical vegetables, chapter 2 deals with classification and types of vegetable garden, chapter 3 covers Export standards of vegetable crops. Chapter 4 covers the production technology of solanaceae vegetable crops and chapter 5, 6 cucurbitaceous crops. The chapter 7-18 is about leguminaceae. Chapter 19-28 deals with tuber crops, leafy vegetables and perennial vegetable crops.
