The first of two volumes, this book covers major tropical fruits such as avocado, litchi, mango, papaya and pineapple. Early chapters describe the tropics and its soils and deal with key issues such as tree management and postharvest handling, updated and expanded to include best handling practices and food safety issues and the way to address these issues in marketing. Following these are self-contained chapters on single fruits which provide in-depth studies of botany, areas of origin and distribution, descriptions of ecological requirements and world production and utilization of each fruit. Propagation & cultural practices from ancient to modern are described to show the regional differences that environmental and biological pressures exert on fruit production and fruit quality. Tropical Fruits is essential reading for students and teachers of horticulture as well as horticultural industry personnel and policy-makers.

John D. Caldeira

Excellent Coverage of Some Major Fruit Crops

March 21, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Great coverage of cultivation and propogation methods, climate requirements and post-harvest handling for some major crops. Plenty of graphs, charts and tables suppliment theclearly-written and well-organized text. This book is a great reference resource for backyard growers and small farmers. However, coverage in this book is limited to the the most important fruits that grow in most tropical climates. Volume 2, Tropical Fruits (Crop Production Science in Horticulture) provides coverage of more minor fruits. There are even more minor fruits that receive no coverage in either volume. Maybe there'll be a volume 3 some day.

This book is a little pricey, but has more depth than the free version of Julia Morton's book Fruits of Warm Climates that is available free online.
