Sustainable Horticulture, Volume 1: Diversity, Production, and Crop
Improvements is part of a two-volume compendium that addresses the
most important topics facing horticulture around the world today.
Volume 1, on Diversity, Production, and Crop Improvement, outlines
the contemporary trends in sustainable horticulture research,
covering such topics as crop diversity, species variability and
conservation strategies, production technology, tree architecture
management, plant propagation and nutrition management, organic
farming, and new dynamics in breeding and marketing of horticulture
crops. Sections include: Genetic Resources & Biodiversity
Conservation Production & Marketing of Horticulture Crops Crop
Improvement & Biotechnology Together with Volume 2: Food,
Health, and Nutrition, this two-volume compendium presents an
abundance of new research on sustainable horticulture that will be
valuable for a broad audience, including students of horticulture,
faculty and instructors, scientists, agriculturists, government and
nongovernment organizations, and other industry professionals.

'Plant Constituents and their Mechanism of Action as Pesticide' is
a reference book specially prepared for researchers, teachers &
professionals working on Natural Products. The book contains seven
chapters; the experimental part includes the extraction, separation
and identification techniques of the plant constituents, and
detailed in vitro, in vivo and in silco investigations against
agricultural pests. The in vitro studies against fungal pests,
includes MIC, IC50, MKT, ID, pesticidal spectrum, synthetic
comparison, using NCCLS, 2002 protocols with slight modifications.
However, in vitro studies against insect pests, includes repellent
toxicity, contact toxicity and fumigant toxicity. Further, how the
findings of in vitro investigations can be useful for data
prediction, using ANN modelling; ligand- protein interactions,
using in silico (Online software used: CLUSTALW2, ESyPred3D and
Phyre; off-line software used: Molegro Virtual Docker 3.2.0); and
their validation in wet lab, using molecular techniques are
arranged chronologically. Moreover, investigations in absence of
reference protein for plant constituents can be a model for the
scientist working on natural pesticide.
This timely two-volume compendium, Sustainable Horticulture,
addresses the most important topics facing horticulture around the
world today. The volumes cover a wide range of topical issues and
trends in sustainable horticulture today: Volume 1: Diversity,
Production, and Crop Improvements, and Volume 2: Food, Health, and
Nutrition. Global food demand is expected to be double by 2050,
while at the same time the production environment and natural
resources are continually shrinking and deteriorating due to many
complex factors. Horticulture, a major sector of agriculture, is
vital to enhancing crop production and productivity in parity with
agricultural crops to meet the emerging food demand. Implementing
sustainable models of crop production is really an enormous
endeavor. Promising technologies and management options are needed
to increase productivity to meet the growing food demand despite
deteriorating production environments.
