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 Handbook of Environmental Physiology of Fruit Crops written by Bruce Schaffer and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These exciting new companion handbooks are the only ones of their kind devoted solely to the effects of environmental variables on the physiology of the world's major fruit and nut crops. Their cosmopolitan scope includes chapters on tropical and temperate zone species written by scientists from several continents. The influence of environmental factors, such as irradiance, temperature, water and salinity on plant physiology and on vegetative and reproductive growth, is comprehensively discussed for each crop. In addition to being a thorough and up-to-date set of textbooks, the organzation of the two volumes makes them an excellent reference tool. Each chapter focuses on a single crop, or a group of genetically or horticulturally related crop, and is appropriately divided into subsections that address individual environmental factors. Some chapters emphasize whole-plant physiology and plant growth and development, while other chapters feature theoretical aspects of plant physiology. Several chapters provide botanical background discussions to enhance understanding of the crop's response to its environment.

Download or read book Strawberry written by Amjad M. Husaini and published by CABI. This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Methods of strawberry cultivation have undergone extensive modification and this book provides an up-to-date, broad and balanced scientific review of current research and emerging challenges. Subjects covered range from plant propagation, architecture, genetic resources, breeding, abiotic stresses and climate change, to evolving diseases and their control. These topics are examined in three sections: 1. Genetics, Breeding and Omics - covering genetic resources, breeding, metabolomics, transcriptomics, and genetic transformation of strawberry. 2. Cultivation Systems and Propagation - discusses plant architecture, replanting problems and plant propagation techniques. 3. Disease and Stress Management - deals with traditional and emerging fungal diseases, their diagnosis and modern biocontrol strategies, and biotechnological interventions for dealing with the challenges of climate change. Strawberry: Growth, Development and Diseases is written by an international team of specialists, using figures and tables to make the subject comprehensible and informative. It is an essential resource for academics and industry workers involved in strawberry research and development, and all those interested in the commercial cultivation of strawberries.

Download or read book Soil Physical Conditions and Plant Roots written by J. Glinski and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a specialized monograph on soil physical conditions and root-system relations. It attempts to explain the importance of physical properties of soil by showing how they affect root growth and functions; and on the other hand, how roots themselves change their environment. Emphasis is placed on the interactive effects of soil physical factors. An attempt has been made to analyze the possibilities of the root system‘s modification by both soil and plant management.The book is addressed to research workers and advanced students in soil and plant sciences and may also be of interest to agronomists and related specialists.
Download or read book Plant and Substrate Based Factors Affecting Design and Management of In field Soilless Strawberry Production Systems written by Jose Antonio Gonzalez Fuentes and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The strawberry industry in California has expressed interest in soilless field production as an alternative to soil fumigation, so this research was undertaken to study the response of `Albion' strawberry plants to plant- and substrate-based factors that affect the design and management of such systems.Low substrate aeration reduced shoot and root dry weight, as well as leaf area, stomatal conductance, photosynthesis, plant water potential, and leaf nitrogen concentration. Root growth was greatest at air-filled porosity values between 13% and 25%. With proper irrigation management, strawberries grown at average air-filled porosities between 10% and 25% should achieve high productivity. Root-zone volumes of soilless substrate as low as 2 liters per plant and once-daily irrigation (twice-daily irrigation of mature plants during high-ET conditions) can be used for field production of strawberries without affecting yield, as long as the substrate provides adequate air-filled porosity and available water. Daily plant water uptake peaked in summer at about 0.5 to 0.7 L, and maximum daily nitrogen uptake per plant was 28.5 mg. Nitrogen supplied in a liquid feed at a concentration of 60 ppm is sufficient to support high yields. Large root zone temperature fluctuations negatively affected strawberry plant growth, water relations, fruit yield and quality. We attribute this reduced growth to the very negative stem water potentials that occurred when root zone temperatures were near 5oC. Root zone temperature had little or no effect on photosynthesis, gas exchange, fluorescence, or foliar nutrient levels. The consequences of diurnal RZT fluctuations during strawberry production appear to be small if the minimum temperature is above 7oC. Clonal integration (the capability of reciprocal resource translocation among interconnected plants through their shared stolon) alleviated salinity stress by allowing for resource transfer between interconnected mother and daughter plants. Leaf area, shoot and root dry biomass, gas exchange parameters and instantaneous water use efficiency in salinity-challenged plants were maintained near the values for non-stressed plants. Interclonal resource translocation was mainly driven by the contrast in stress intensity between mother and daughter plants. The results from these experiments are applicable to specification of appropriate conditions for soilless field production of strawberry. Aeration, water-holding and nitrogen requirements for the system were defined so that the volume needed for field production and resources were minimized. Detrimental effects of high fluctuating temperatures can be anticipated so that the planting date may be changed later in the season to avoid low temperatures. These experiments supported efforts to design and build a cost-efficient soilless field production system for strawberry, providing the industry with a non-chemical alternative to pre-plant soil fumigation with methyl bromide.
