Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bananas are commonly grown in tropical and subtropical places around the world, where they can contribute a significant number of calories, nutritional variety, and income. Bananas play an essential part in global food security. The organic farming of bananas has more demand than fertilizers-based crops. The fruits that are grown in the organic farming-based cultivations are costly and few consumers can afford them. Bananas are assumed to be one of the world's popular cultivated fruits, and the leaves are used in a variety of dishes. Banana monoculture cultivation on a commercial scale is a relatively new practice. Fresh and processed bananas both require packaging to prevent them from mechanical damage as they move through the value chain. The majority of bananas are consumed raw, with fewer than 5% being processed. Most of the products derived from banana plants can be processed without much loss in the native nutrients. The cooking of the raw banana can release phenolic compounds that can help in human health. The subject of the book starts from providing a clear picture of organic farming of banana its disease & pest control along with processing that are used as processed foods. The book further talks about the physiology of banana, pathology of banana including desert banana, its disease symptoms, fungi, bacteria, nematodes in banana crops. In addition to this, organic production and tissue culture of banana have been discussed descriptively. Unripe banana fruit is used as a cooked vegetable, chips, and other items, whereas ripe banana fruit is mostly consumed raw. Ripe bananas can be pulped and used to make puree, which can then be used in a range of foods such as ice cream, yogurt, cake, bread, nectar, and baby food. Bananas have been subjected to a variety of treatments in order to extend their shelf life, maintain their quality, and improve their marketability. Furthermore, when selling bananas, ripening stages are critical. Ripe yellow bananas are available at most convenience stores and shops and are ready to eat. Banana production and sales have increased in recent years as a result of improved purchasing convenience and greater health awareness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book covers interplay between pest management strategies and safety of pollinators. Detailed information is provided on pests and pollinators of temperate, subtropical and tropical fruit crops. Most of the fruit crops are highly cross pollinated and depend upon insects or benefit from insect pollination for fruit set. Insect pests on the other hand cause major economic damage on fruit crops in tropics, subtropics and temperate. Evidently, pest management in fruit crops on one hand and providing safety to the pollinators on the other is a challenging task in the context of increasing horticultural productivity without upsetting the ecological balance. This book aims to integrate and develop pest control strategies in a way to minimize their impact on beneficial insect species such as natural enemies and pollinators to enhance fruit production and quality. The book covers interplay between pest management strategies and safety of pollinators. Detailed information is provided on pests and pollinators of temperate, subtropical and tropical fruit crops. Pollinators play a crucial role in flowering plant reproduction and in the production of most fruits and vegetables.

Insect pests on the other hand cause major economic damage on fruit crops in tropics, subtropics and temperate.

Download or read book Systematic Pomology Vol 1 2 Set written by O.P. Pareek and published by Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 953 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is aimed to be a treatise on the ‘Systematic Pomology’, the primary component of science of fruits, dealing with identification, nomenclature and classification of fruit species based on the descriptions of characteristics related to their morphological, genetical, physiological, biochemical, biotechnological and eco-attributes. Besides taxonomic narrative of each species under the respective orders and genera, considerable emphasis has been laid on cultivars. The treatment is based on the latest version of Nomenclature and Phylogenetic System of Classification (APG III). The book is richly illustrated with diagrams and colour plates and carries fairly exhaustive bibliography and glossary. Thus, the book is of high academic value for research workers/teachers, students and anyone interested in advanced fruit culture to provide insight in identifying and classifying fruit plants, providing standard nomenclature and terminology, in avoiding the confusion from synonymy and promoting correct labeling, to understand their genetic relations, in establishing or maintaining a garden, a germplasm block, a research orchard or even herbaria, in identification of new genotypes or cultivars for introduction and in deciding orchard management practices as well as methods of utilization, in using the correct related cultivars kept in a genetic resources repository for improvement considering the limits of hybridization, and in selecting genetic material for a breeding programme considering their taxonomic proximities and specific characters related to fruit bearing, regularity, nutritive and edible quality, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses and plant stature and form.

This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Banana is an important fruit grown and consumed in tropics and sub tropic regions. It is the edible fruit usually seedless which can be grown in any climatic condition. It is rich in carbohydrates, fat, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water. A comparative study between 10 different Musa sp. in Kerala was conducted to study the various morphological characteristics. Each of the banana plant differ from each other on the basics of its height, length, colour, pseudostem, leaf, flower bud and fruit. The nutritional components such as moisture, crude protein, crude fibre, ether extract and total ash of pseudostem and leaf of selected varieties of Musa were analysed. For this pseudostem and leaf of 4 different varieties were selected and tested. The test was based on the AOAC method. The result shows that the crude fibre content of pseudostem and leaf is high with certain nutritive value.
