Download or read book TROPICAL VEGETABLES SCIENCE written by Dr. D. KANNAN, M.Sc., Ph.D and published by DARSHAN PUBLISHERS. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 139 pages. 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.

Download or read book Production Technology of Underutilized Vegetable Crops written by Savita and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-20 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume discusses the nutraceutical importance, production technologies, management and cultivation practices of underutilized vegetables, which can be described as those vegetable crops which are neither grown commercially on a large scale nor traded widely. While much of the crops addressed in the book are cultivated, traded and consumed at the local level, there are over 60 species of minor vegetables with high growth and yield potentials that are not cultivated to a large extent for greater populations. This work highlights the production technologies needed to grow these vegetables on a larger scale and under various adverse soil and climatic conditions, and their nutritional and medical benefits to assist with food security, health and poverty alleviation in rural areas. Production of underutilized vegetables is low, due to the unavailability of planting material, lack of awareness about the nutritional and medicinal importance among the farmers and inadequate information on the production techniques of these crops. In this context, there is an urgent need to take up a program on genetic resources exploration, management, utilization, and improvement of underutilized vegetable crops to ensure food and nutritional security. Readers will learn about these technologies and practices, while also learning about the unique properties and benefits of these underutilized vegetables. The book will be useful for academicians and researchers focusing on vegetable production and breeding, as well as farmers and sustainability scientists looking for underexplored sources of nutrition to benefit large rural populations.

This book was released on 2024-08-05 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protected cropping shelters crops from extreme climatic conditions by modifying the internal growing conditions in their favor. The technology has widely been used for vegetable crops in different climates such as temperate, tropical, subtropical, arid, and semi-arid regions. As climate change is projected to become more severe in the near future, the resulting adverse weather conditions such as higher temperatures, more frequent heatwaves, more variable rainfall patterns, and cyclones will affect vegetable production, in turn affecting crop growth, yield, produce quality, and economic return of growers. The demand for protected cultivation will increase to ensure sustainable production and a stable supply of fresh horticultural produce.
