A wide variety of fruits is grown in the tropics, under a range of
climatic conditions and soil types. Some have been widely used both
within the tropics and also exported to temperate countries for
many years, whereas others are currently grown almost exclusively
for local or regional use. However, consumer demands and
improvements in postharvest treatment have meant that the number of
species available in temperate markets is increasing. This book
provides a broad survey of all aspects of tropical fruit production
and usage. It begins by defining the climate and soils of the
tropics and outlining the general principles of cultivation and
postharvest handling. Each type of fruit is then examined in terms
of botany, origin and distribution, ecology, genetics and cultivar
development, culturing practices, pests and diseases, harvest and
post-harvest handling and utilization. Finally, fruits which have
potential for future development are considered. The book is
essential reading for students and professionals in horticulture,
agronomy and food science.
