comprehensive go-to reference work for commercial vegetable growers
around the world For more than 65 years, Knott's Handbook for
Vegetable Growers has provided generations of commercial growers
with the most timely, accessible, and useful information available
on the subject, containing key guidance on transplant production,
planting rates and spacing, irrigation, fertilization, methods for
controlling diseases, and insect pest identification, plus
important information on topics such as composting, post-harvest
storage and processing, genetically-engineered crops, organic
growing, federal regulations and best management practices,
environmentally friendly pest management, and food safety. To allow
for convenient and efficient access to the enormous amount of data
contained within, most of the information is presented in the form
of tables and charts. The work goes above and beyond to provide
everything a reader needs to know on the subject, even including a
multilanguage vegetable dictionary. Now in its 6th edition, the
work has been significantly expanded and modernized to cover key
modern advancements in the industry, such as: Computer-based crop
monitoring technologies, robotic disease control and harvesting
systems, and new protected-ag production systems (including
vertical systems and indoor production) New production systems
pertaining to protected organic agriculture, soil moisture sensing,
environmental monitoring, soil health, and soil conservation New
technologies, including satellite-based decision-making, robotics,
and UAVs for increasing production efficiency The various advances
that have been made in food safety regulations, plus coverage of
new invasive pests Part Farmer's Almanac, part encyclopedia, and
part dictionary, Knott's Handbook for Vegetable Growers serves as
an invaluable asset for growers, students, and other industry
professionals seeking an all-in-one reference for all of the
questions they have on both holistic and specific facets of the
commercial vegetable industry.
