"From the beginning of this book to the end, it has been Professor
Hochmuth's intent to address and educate with a complete synopsis
of what he calls '...the wealth of research addressing the
challenges' in sustainable growth of vegetables... I believe he has
succeeded." (Plant Science Bulletin - Botanical Society of America)
Sustainability involves meeting current needs without compromising
the ability to meet future requirements. Like other crops,
vegetable cultivation faces a number of challenges in ensuring
sustainable production. These challenges include the need to
improve yields and quality to meet rising demand and higher
consumer expectations, the need to reduce the ongoing threats from
pathogens and pests. Focussing on temperate cultivation, Achieving
sustainable cultivation of vegetables summarises the wealth of
research addressing these challenges, from breeding improved
varieties to better techniques for cultivation and crop protection.
Part 1 reviews advances in physiology and breeding. Parts 2-3
summarise advances in cultivation and pest management. The final
part includes case studies on the breeding and cultivation of key
vegetables such as carrot, lettuce and cabbage. With its
distinguished editor and range of expert authors, this will be a
standard reference for horticultural scientists in universities,
government and other research centres involved in supporting
vegetable cultivation, as well as companies supporting the
vegetable sector.
