The first of two volumes, this book covers major tropical fruits
such as avocado, litchi, mango, papaya and pineapple. Early
chapters describe the tropics and its soils and deal with key
issues such as tree management and postharvest handling, updated
and expanded to include best handling practices and food safety
issues and the way to address these issues in marketing. Following
these are self-contained chapters on single fruits which provide
in-depth studies of botany, areas of origin and distribution,
descriptions of ecological requirements and world production and
utilization of each fruit. Propagation & cultural practices
from ancient to modern are described to show the regional
differences that environmental and biological pressures exert on
fruit production and fruit quality. "Tropical Fruits" is essential
reading for students and teachers of horticulture as well as
horticultural industry personnel and policy-makers.
