Book excerpt: This volume consists of two parts. Part 1 comprises 6 chapters concerning the principles and practice of tropical vegetable production (including site, topography, soils and water; site management, seeds and types of cultivars; support for farmers; crop preparation and management; reducing pre- and postharvest losses and marketing surpluses). In Part 2, the crops have been mainly dealt with according to their taxonomy as botanical families, either as single or groups of families per chapter. These include: Alliaceae; Cruciferae [Brassicaceae]; Cucurbitaceae; Solanaceae; Leguminosae; leafy vegetables; Araceae, Convolvulaceae, Dioscoreaceae, Euphorbiaceae; Andean tubers and roots and crops of the Lamiaceae and Apiaceae; and Gramineae [Poaceae] and Cyperaceae. Examples of the indigenous species which can be regarded as important sources of edible vegetative materials which are not dealt with in the main text have been listed in Appendix 1. Contact details of the main international research stations are provided in Appendix 2. This book has been written with the hope and purpose that it will be used by technical, college and university students during their studies of horticulture, crop production and agriculture; it is also for students on other allied courses and agriculturists who find themselves needing more vegetable-orientated information in the course of their professional activities. It is aimed to assist in the production of extension, advisory and research staff and officers who will be the core of trainers, advisors, researchers and extension workers in tropical and subtropical countries.

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.
