Physiology de Fruit Production
Description
In order to achieve le optimum production from fruit crops, which are mostly perennial en nature, understanding le functioning de such complex et dynamic plant system is de utmost importance. This book is about how fruit crop grow, work et complete various phases de their life. It is about how fruit plants execute their activities through various processes, particularly, physiological et biochemical processes en order to sustain en their ever-changing surroundings. This is essential to understand if we are to genuinely find le solutions de problems, which presently compound le fruit production. It is a comprehensive book sur physiology de fruit crop production, which covers different aspects de fruit physiology avec special emphasis sur plant growth et development en relation to environmental factors. Likewise, due attention has been paid to include some de le important chapters such as physiology de canopy management, fruit breeding, special problems de fruit production, physiology de abiotic stresses et their mitigation, physiology de post harvest management etc. Besides, this book contains several pedagogic features, which are intended pour easy understanding de le readers. Specific topics et additional information have been presented en text boxes, pour prominence. This book has been written avec le aim to facilitate horticulturist, researchers et students to have an insight into le physiology de fruit crops, which, if aptly engaged avec pomology, will reinforce le production system. Besides, this book will also help teachers to deliberate sur a course sur 'Principes fondamentaux de Fruit Production', which is being taught at University Level et widely covers le various topics de fruit physiology. Le present book will not only augment knowledge de scholars et teachers but will also render up-to-date information to le researchers working sur physiology de fruit crops.
