Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Originating in South America, cassava is grown in over 100 countries around the world. It is the third most important source of calories in the tropics after rice and maize. Its caloric value, as well as its ability to tolerate dry conditions and poor soils, makes it a key food security crop in developing countries. As demand for food grows, there is an urgent need to increase yields in the face of such challenges as climate change, threats from pests and diseases and the need to make cultivation more resource-efficient and sustainable. Drawing on an international range of expertise, this collection focuses on ways of improving the cultivation of cassava at each step in the value chain, from breeding to post-harvest storage. Volume 1 starts by reviewing genetic resources, advances in breeding and their application to produce varieties with desirable traits such as higher yield. It then goes on to review developments in understanding and managing pests and diseases. Achieving sustainable cultivation of cassava Volume 2: Genetic resources, breeding, pests and diseases will be a standard reference for agricultural scientists in universities, government and other research centres and companies involved in improving cassava cultivation. It is accompanied by Volume 1 which reviews cultivation techniques."--Provided by publisher.

This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To meet growing demand, the FAO has estimated that world poultry production needs to grow by 2-3% per year to 2030. Much of the increase in output already achieved has been as a result of improvements in commercial breeds combined with rearing in more intensive production systems. However, more intensive systems and complex supply chains have increased the risk of rapid transmission of animal diseases and zoonoses. Consumer expectations of sensory and nutritional quality have never been higher. At the same time consumers are more concerned about the environmental impact of poultry production as well as animal welfare. Drawing on an international range of expertise, this book reviews research on safety, quality and sustainability issues in poultry production. Part 1 discusses risks from pathogens, detection and safety management on farms and in slaughterhouse operations. Part 2 looks at ways of enhancing the flavour, colour, texture and nutritional quality of poultry meat. Finally, the book reviews the environmental impact of poultry production. Achieving sustainable production of poultry meat Volume 1: Safety, quality and sustainability will be a standard reference for poultry and food scientists in universities, government and other research centres and companies involved in poultry production. It is accompanied by two further volumes which review poultry breeding, nutrition, health and welfare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing cassava, a starchy root crop that provides a significant amount of carbohydrates for millions of people in tropical and subtropical countries, is what is meant by "cassava farming." Cassava, or Manihot esculenta, is a key food staple in many regions across the world, particularly in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Some fundamentals of cassava growing are as follows: 1. Cassava does not yield viable seeds, so it is normally cultivated via stem cuttings or planting stakes. These cuttings are planted by farmers in carefully prepared fields with good drainage. 2. Cassava plants can be harvested anywhere from 8 to 24 months after planting, depending on the cultivar and environmental factors. When the plant is ripe, the root is collected for human consumption. In various parts of the world, the cassava plant's leaves are also consumed. 3. Cassava's adaptability means it can serve many purposes. It can be eaten raw, cooked, steamed, fried, or processed into flour, starch, or tapioca. It's a flexible crop that provides sustenance for many of people. 4. Nutritional Value: Cassava is a decent source of carbohydrates but lacks large levels of key elements like protein and vitamins. It's great for keeping you going, but you still need to eat a variety of things to stay healthy. 5. Economic Importance: Cassava farming can be economically important for both small-scale and commercial producers. It's important to the economy and food supply of many areas because of this. 6. Low yields and susceptibility to pests and illnesses are two problems that might arise during cassava production. It's also vulnerable to dry weather. 7. Cassava root contains potentially poisonous cyanogenic chemicals, which can be removed after processing. This processing may include peeling, soaking, and cooking to make cassava suitable for food. 8. There are many different types of cassava, some of which are bitter and need to be processed thoroughly before they are acceptable to eat, while others are sweet and may be eaten straight from the stove. Many people in poor nations rely on income from cassava farming to ensure their families' nutritional wellbeing and financial stability. It's a lifeline crop for a lot of people, and it might help solve food insecurity issues in places where it's cultivated. Many agricultural and development groups, however, are focused on finding solutions to the crop's problems and increasing its yields.

This book was released on 2020-02-05 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With 160+ countries and islands, the tropical belt is the geographical region centered on the equator and limited by the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. Tropical agricultural production is mostly for local consumption but cash crops are also present. Tropical agriculture is characterized by a significant lack of capital in research and agricultural systems and by a high prevalence of insect pests and diseases. Phytoplasma diseases are associated by bacteria-like pathogens living in plant sap and spread by sap-feeding insects. They are emerging diseases and are difficult to control, mostly because their epidemiology is not known. This book will focus on detection and prevention of phytoplasma diseases in field and horticultural crops grown in the tropical belt. The book will review current prevention methods used in small and large-scale farms, and present research results aiming at developing sustainable management of phytoplasma diseases in the tropics.
