Download or read book Tropical Vegetable Production written by Raymond A. T. George and published by CABI. This book was released on 2011 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume consists of two parts. Part 1 comprises 6 chapters concerning the principles and practice of tropical vegetable production (including site, topography, soils and water; site management, seeds and types of cultivars; support for farmers; crop preparation and management; reducing pre- and postharvest losses and marketing surpluses). In Part 2, the crops have been mainly dealt with according to their taxonomy as botanical families, either as single or groups of families per chapter. These include: Alliaceae; Cruciferae [Brassicaceae]; Cucurbitaceae; Solanaceae; Leguminosae; leafy vegetables; Araceae, Convolvulaceae, Dioscoreaceae, Euphorbiaceae; Andean tubers and roots and crops of the Lamiaceae and Apiaceae; and Gramineae [Poaceae] and Cyperaceae. Examples of the indigenous species which can be regarded as important sources of edible vegetative materials which are not dealt with in the main text have been listed in Appendix 1. Contact details of the main international research stations are provided in Appendix 2. This book has been written with the hope and purpose that it will be used by technical, college and university students during their studies of horticulture, crop production and agriculture; it is also for students on other allied courses and agriculturists who find themselves needing more vegetable-orientated information in the course of their professional activities. It is aimed to assist in the production of extension, advisory and research staff and officers who will be the core of trainers, advisors, researchers and extension workers in tropical and subtropical countries.

Book excerpt: Abstract: A comprehensive accounting of principles and practical information on a wide variety of vegetable crops grown in the tropics is intended to enhance the appreciation of vegetable growers, extension officers, administrators, and food research workers concerning the potential for increasing vegetable crop production in the tropics. Common names, cultivars, origin, distribution, geographical areas of cultivation, botanical description, and other features are provided for 67 species of 20 different families of vegetables. Available information on environmental response, cultural requirements, growth period, harvesting, market preparation, storage, use, nutritional composition, and pests and diseases also is included for each of the species. Illustrations or photographs of these species are provided. Comprehensive data on cultivars, pests, and diseases are appended. (wz).

Download or read book Integrated Pest Management of Tropical Vegetable Crops written by Rangaswamy Muniappan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is an edited book with chapters written by multi-disciplinary specialists in their specific subject areas. It covers development of IPM components and packaging them for individual vegetable crops specifically targeted to tropical countries. Scientific background for IPM components or tactics will be included. There will be case studies of IPM packages developed and implemented in different countries. The concept of IPM has been in existence for the past six decades; however, a practical holistic program has not been developed and implemented for vegetable crops, in the developing countries. Currently the IPM adoption rate in the tropics is minimal and there is a need for implementation of IPM technologies that are environmentally safe, economical, and socially acceptable. We believe that adoption and implementation of IPM provided in this book will lead to significant reduction in crop losses and mitigate adverse impacts of pesticide use in the tropics. This book is an outcome 20 years of research, development and implementation of the IPM CRSP, a project supported by USAID and administered by Virginia Tech in several developing countries along the tropical belt in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Principles of Tropical Horticulture leads the reader through a background of environmental influences and plant physiology to an understanding of production and post-harvest systems, environmental adaptation techniques and marketing strategies. Focusing on the principles behind production practices and their scientific basis, rather than detailed biological traits of each crop, this text outlines successes and failures in practices to date and sets out how the quantity and quality of horticultural produce can improve in the future. Case studies are frequently used and chapters cover the production of vegetables, fruit and ornamental crops, including temperate zone crops adapted to grow in the tropics.

Each crop is dealt under choice of cultivars, climate and soil requirements, sowing time, seed rate, nursery practices, preparation of field, transplanting, spacing, nutrient management, water and weed management, use of chemicals and growth regulators, other intercultural practices, crop protection, physiological disorders, harvesting, yield, post-harvest handling, and marketing. Simple and lucid language has been used for easy understanding of the beginners. Questions are set at the end of each chapter to assess the understanding of the students. Though the book is primarily written for under-graduate students of horticulture, the counterparts of agriculture will also be benefitted. It may serve as a help book for post-graduate students and extension officials.
