Production Technology of Fruit and Plantation Crops presents a comprehensive guide to the scientific principles and modern practices involved in the cultivation and management of fruit and plantation crops. Designed for students of horticulture, agriculture, and agribusiness, the book integrates theoretical knowledge with field-level applications to improve productivity, quality, and sustainability.
The text begins with the importance and scope of fruit and plantation crops in nutrition, employment generation, and the economy. It explains the ecological requirements, soil and climate adaptability, and varietal selection of major crops.
Core chapters cover the production technologies of tropical, subtropical, and temperate fruit crops (such as mango, banana, citrus, guava, apple, grapes, and papaya) and plantation crops (such as coconut, arecanut, cashew, coffee, tea, and rubber). Each crop is discussed in detail, including botanical description, improved varieties, propagation techniques, planting systems, nutrition, irrigation, intercultural practices, training and pruning, pest and disease management, harvesting, and post-harvest handling.
The book also emphasizes integrated crop management (ICM), organic farming, high-density planting, precision farming, protected cultivation, and value addition. Case studies and region-specific practices highlight how technology can be adapted to local conditions.
Illustrations, charts, and field-based examples make complex practices easier to understand, while review questions and practical exercises reinforce learning.
By linking science, practice, and innovation, Production Technology of Fruit and Plantation Crops serves as a valuable resource for students, researchers, extension workers, and farmers aiming to enhance productivity and profitability in horticulture and plantation enterprises.
