Download or read book Temperate Fruit Crops in Warm Climates written by A. Erez and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a member of the working group (WG) on "Temperate Zone Fruit Trees in the Tropics and Subtropics" of the International Society for Horticulture, I was aware of the lack of readily available information needed in many warm-climate locations where temperate fruit crops are grown. The founder of this WG, Frank Dennis, Jr. , was motivated to encourage knowledge transfer by sharing knowledge with many developing countries. We shared his drive and in presenting this book we believe we are doing a service to all persons interested in temperate fruits, but especially to those in tropical and subtropical countries, many of which are developing countries interested in growing these crops and lacking the knowledge needed. In this book, we have collected information covering a variety of different aspects of growing temperate fruit crops in warm climates. As this is the first time such an evaluation of these species has been done, interesting and novel aspects of tree development and fruiting are presented, with stress on elements like dormancy and irrigation that are not of such basic concern in the natural of the temperate zones. We are living in a transition age; horticultural studies habitat are changing and expertise such as can be found in the array of participants in this book is probably not going to be easily found in the future. I hope that this book will broaden our understanding of the fruiting Temperate Zone tree in general and of its adaptation to warm climates, in particular.
Download or read book Fruit Trees of the Caribbean written by Sandra Hewitt and published by MacMillan. This book was released on 2005 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fruit growing in the tropical regions of the world is quite different from the more temperate areas where the majority of fruits are strictly seasonal and mostly ripen from mid-Summer to late Autumn. There is no off-season in tropical regions and the variety of available fruits in the Caribbean has increased with the introduction of new species from other parts of the tropical world. Fruits Trees of the Caribbean describes more than ninety varieties of trees and their fruits. In botanical terms some fruits will be known to many people as spices such as cinnamon and cloves or parts of the fruits such as nutmeg or mace. There is at least one species listed that cannot be eaten as it is poisonous. The description of trees and shrubs is comprehensive but what cannot be accurately described are the rich and varied flavours that are totally unique and delicious.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on various tropical fruit tree species management for climate change including mitigation strategies and technological countermeasures taken by researchers, progressive growers and commercial companies to overcome the adverse changes. It can be considered as a unique source emphasizing the fruit species solitary not by subject as usual to enable readers reaching directly to their crop of interest. The content includes genetic resources conservation, remote sensing and environmental certification. Increasing attention of the society toward information and measures taken by various stakeholders about climate change risks and threats makes this book very timely. Key points covered: Provides a contemporary view of the impact of climate change on cultivation of individual fruit species Offers modern approaches for mitigating the adverse impact of climate change on fruits cultivation Describes research progress of understanding and combating the impact of climate change on fruits production Illustrates presented concepts with relevant figures and tabulated data
