Ecological and genetic control of plant resistance to unfavorable
environmental influences is being carried out all over the world,
and new varieties and hybrids of plants are being created,
resulting in rich, new information and innovative new methods of
cultivation. This new volume, Temperate Horticulture for
Sustainable Development and Environment: Ecological Aspects,
explores the vast biotic diversity in horticulture, with a focus on
sustainable development in today's deteriorating environment. The
book offers new technologies for a wide range of horticultural
crops, including vegetables, fruit, berries, and flowers. The
information presented here is the result of original experiments
and study of leading specialists in horticulture, plant breeding,
and related areas. Part 1, Innovation in the Field of Vegetable
Growing, looks at several completely new methods for increasing the
yield of potatoes and cucumbers. The second part. The Arctic
Berries: Ecology and Biochemistry presents an abundance of data on
the phytocenotic properties of wild-growing and cultivated berry
plants and of arctic raspberry and blueberry in natural populations
of taiga zones. The authors studied berry crops, cranberry, Arctic
