Temperate Tree Fruits and Nuts serves as a comprehensive resource, providing up-to-date knowledge about economically significant temperate fruit crops. This textbook covers the history, genetic improvements, and growth physiology of these crops. It details orchard establishment, management practices, and harvest considerations, making it a standalone guide to sustainable fruit crop production in temperate climates. Targeted toward undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as professionals in pomology, horticulture, and related fields, the book is essential for researchers, farmers, consultants, and agribusiness professionals.
Each chapter, authored by an expert, provides an introduction, botany, orchard management, propagation, rootstocks, cultivars, and disease and pest management. It also covers ripening, harvest criteria, postharvest physiology, and technology, complemented by high-quality illustrations and a question bank for instructors.
Key Features
- Explains the history, genetic improvements, and production physiology of growth and cropping, orchard establishment, and harvest considerations for sustainable fruit crop management
- Highlights the status of each crop within a global context and provides information on fruit species from a range of both preharvest and postharvest perspectives
- Explores the main challenges and constraints for each temperate fruit crop, as well as preharvest factors and cultivation practices that effect yield efficiency
- Describes fungal/pest diseases and physiological disorders that compromise fruit quality on a species-specific basis
- Includes high-quality illustrations and question bank
