"The book provides an excellent overview of mango cultivation
across the world... a comprehensive foundation of knowledge on
which future research strategies can be built." Chronica
Horticulturae Mangoes are one of the most important and
widely-cultivated fruits in tropical as well as sub-tropical
regions. There have been a number of recent developments with the
potential to improve crop yields and quality. There has been new
research in understanding the physiology of tree and fruit
development with implications for both breeding and cultivation.
Analysis of the mango genome promises new, faster breeding
techniques to develop improved cultivars. These and other advances
are helping to tackle diseases and pests which still cause
significant losses. Drawing on an international range of expertise,
this collection focuses on ways of improving the cultivation of
mango as a food crop at each step in the value chain, from breeding
through to post-harvest storage. Part 1 discusses advances in
understanding tree growth, flowering, pollination and fruit
development as well as developments in marker-assisted breeding.
Part 2 reviews improvements in cultivation practice, including
organic and greenhouse cultivation. Part 3 covers post-harvest
management and quality, whilst the final part of the book assesses
disease and pest management. As the need for more interdisciplinary
and collaborative research increases, this collection will be a
standard reference for the mango research community by summarising
key research trends in each topic and putting them in the context
of mango cultivation as a whole.
