Originally published in 1978 and revised in 1988, this edition contains expanded and updated information and includes the latest world production statistics, a review of contemporary literature in the field and recent research developments. Information is presented under the following chapter headings: history of fruit culture; general environment; production areas; species and varieties; rootstocks; establishing the planting; cultural practices; flowering; pollination and fruit set; fruit growth and thinning; plant efficiency: growth and yield; crop maturity; harvest; postharvest storage and nutritional value; hormones and growth regulators; dormancy and plant hardiness; temperate fruits in low latitudes (a new chapter); diseases and pests; and optimizing the fruit farm. There are appendices giving information on chemical symbols, International System of Units, useful formulae, useful values, Fahrenheit/Celsius temperature conversions, foot/metre conversions, acre/hectare conversions and metric

/imperial conversions, and a glossary. The book is written primarily as an undergraduate text, but is also intended as a general reference book for professional growers and researchers.
