Achieving sustainable cultivation of mangoes [Hardcover]

Drawing on an international range of expertise, this collection focuses on ways of improving the cultivation of mango as a food crop at each step in the value chain, from breeding through to post-harvest storage. Part 1 discusses advances in understanding tree growth, flowering, pollination and fruit development as well as developments in marker-assisted breeding. Part 2 reviews improvements in cultivation practice, including organic and greenhouse cultivation. Part 3 covers post-harvest management and quality, whilst the final part of the book assesses disease and pest management.

As the need for more interdisciplinary and collaborative research increases, this collection will be a standard reference for the mango research community by summarising key research trends in each topic and putting them in the context of mango cultivation as a whole.This comprehensive list of chapters, contributed by world experts and edited by distinguished editors, promises to satisfy an important need and be highly appreciated by mango lovers worldwide.Emeritus Professor Uri Lavi, Agricultural Research Organization (ARO)  Volcani Center, Israel

The book provides an excellent overview of mango cultivation across the world& a comprehensive foundation of knowledge on which future research strategies can be built.
