The
horticulture industry in India has witnessed a spectacular
development in the last two decades. Today, India
ranks second in the world in the production of fruits.
However, the productivity of tem-perate fruits in
particular is declining at a faster rate. This decline
in productivity is being attributed to changing climatic
scenario which has caused a serious concern to temperate
fruit growers, scientists, and developmental agencies.
The information on various aspects of temperate fruits
in the Himalayas is scattered in various research
papers, review articles and bulletins. This book is
an effort to bridge this gap and have holistic information.
In this book, the information on fruit crop improvement;
quality planting material production; climatic changes
and their adverse effects; state of fruit farming
in Himalayan region and future strategies for enhancing
productivity of apple, pear, peach, apricot, plum
and prune, cherry, pomegranate, kiwifruit, persimmon,
strawberry, almond, walnut, chestnut, hazelnut, pistachio,
pecan nut and olive has been provided. Besides these,
crop regulation; temperate fruits for subtropical
areas; plant protection problems; and status of temperate
fruit production in the Himalayan states have also
been discussed.
The present volume will enhance the knowledge towards
the prosperity of Horticulture and fulfil the expectations
of orchardists, scientists, students, teachers, extension
workers and policy planners.
