considerable depth the science, management and technology which
underpins the continuous production of fresh and processed

modern production of: Field Vegetables, Temperate Fruit, Tropical
Fruit, Citrus, Plantation Crops, Berry Crops, Viticulture,
Protected Crops, Flower Crops, New Crops, Post-harvest Handling,
Supply Chain Management and the Environmental Impact of Production.
Each chapter is written by acknowledged world experts. Never before

vegetables and ornamentals been available year-round in the World s

nutritious, high quality, safe and diverse fresh foods. This is
achieved by manipulating plant growth, reproduction and postharvest
husbandry. The multi-billion dollar international industry
achieving this is Production Horticulture the subject of this
