Two introductory chapters on the tropics and its soils, and cultivation and postharvest handling of tropical fruits, are followed by chapters on the following tropical (and subtropical) fruits: annonas; avocados; bananas; carambolas; guavas; litchis, longans and rambutans; mangoes; papayas...
The fruit production in the tropics offers a greater scope to modify a plant's flowering and fruiting cycles than in temperate areas. Changing the normal seasonal flowering cycle offers growers considerable economic advantages, by enhancing the ability to market tropical fruit in the off-season. A...
This chapter on mamey sapote (Pouteria sapota), chiku or sapodilla (Manilkara zapota), pitaya or dragon fruit (Hylocereus sp.), acerola (Malpighia emarginata) and naranjilla (Solanum quitoense) from tropical America covers the following: taxonomy, areas of origin and distribution, environmental...
This book is one the 23 volumes in the Crop Production Science in Horticulture Series focusing on horticultural crops from major production systems in temperate, subtropical and tropical climatic areas. The first volume on tropical fruits presented the general aspects of tropical fruit production...
This chapter on langsat and duku (Lansium domesticum), santol (Sandoricum koetjape), wax apple (Syzygium samarangense), pummelo (Citrus maxima) and ambarella (Spondias dulcis) covers the following: taxonomy, areas of origin and distribution, environmental conditions for cultivation (climate, and...
The number of fruits that have had their genomes sequenced stands at least at 12, with the Durian genome being published in 2017. The cost of sequencing has decreased dramatically in the last ten years though the quality of the genome assemblies in absence of linkage maps is a limitation. Following ...
This chapter on breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis), jackfruit (A. heterophyllus), chempedak (A. integer) and marang (A. odoratissimus) covers the following: taxonomy, geographical distribution, environmental requirements for growth (climate, and soil chemical and physical properties), plant morphology ...
This encyclopedia provides a wide range of information (including crop history and origins, world production, uses, taxonomy and nomenclature, morphology, reproductive biology, fruit growth and development, climatic requirements, propagation, cultivation, postharvest systems, cultivars and...
This chapter focuses on the taxonomy, origin and distribution, effects of climatic factors on the ecology, morphology and physiology of litchi and longan. The cultivar development, cultural practices for propagation, cultivation, irrigation, pruning, ferilizer application and pest, weed and disease ...
With a world production of above 25 million tonnes, having duplicated in less than 25 years, pineapple is the third most important tropical fruit, behind bananas and mango (considering that citrus cultivation is mostly subtropical). This chapter discusses the pre-Columbian importance and...
