Growth and Improvement of Horticultural Crops
L.C. De
Growth brings about a permanent change in any plant or its part in respect to its size, form, weight and volume. In fruit crops, the inherent nature of a long gestation period, higher heterozygosity, scanty information on inheritance pattern, often cross pollination, excessive fruit drop, parthenocarpy and lesser seed number restricting the availability of hybrid seedlings for evaluation are the real challenges in crop improvement program.Vegetable improvement includes the development of hybrids and new varieties for new horti zones, higher yield, greater tolerances to insect pests and diseases, excellent fruit quality, nutritional content and physiological efficiency. Evaluation of natural diversity, selection, hybridization, exploitation of hybrid vigour and male sterile lines, polyploidy and mutation have played an important role in production maximization and productivity of both self and cross pollinated indigenous, commercial and elite vegetable crops.The main emphasis in ornamental plant breeding is to improve variety traits, novel colour, form, size, number of flowers, flower vase life, repeat blooming, disease resistance, nutrient uptake capacity and growth habit.Various types of new varieties of ornamental crops have been produced for many years by cross hybridization and mutation breeding techniques, separately or in combination.
In view of above, the present publication on ‘Growth and Improvement of Horticultural Crops’ is planned in 10 interesting chapters vividly highlighting various aspects covering Breeding of Horticultural Crops, Growth and Development of Horticultural Crops, Principles and Methods of Training and Pruning of Fruit Crops, Use of Growth Regulators in Horticulture, Fruitfulness and Unfruitfulness, Nutrient Management, Water Management, Cropping System, Principle of Organic Farming and Rejuvenation of Old Orchards.
It may be humbly claimed that this is the most comprehensive book on growth and improvement of horticultural crops and will be useful to teachers, students, scientists, nurserymen, landscape designer, planners, amateurs and professional gardeners and above all farmers.

Pre and Post Menstrual Nutritional Management
Annu Verma
Menopouse also nown as the climacteric is the time in most women’s lives when menstrual periods stop permanently, and they are no longer able to bear children. Menopause typically occurs between 49 and 52 years of age. Medical professionals often define menopause as having occurred when a woman has not had any vaginal bleeding for a year. It may also be defined by a decrease in hormone production by the ovaries. In those who have had surgery to remove their uterus but still have ovaries, menopause may be viewed to have occurred at the time of the surgery or when their hormone levels fell. Following the removal of the uterus, symptoms typically occur earlier, at an average of 45 years of age.
Premenopause, or menopause transition, begins several years before menopause. It’s the time when the ovaries gradually begin to make less estrogen. It usually starts in a woman’s 40s, but can start in her 30s or even earlier. Premenopause lasts up until menopause, the point when the ovaries stop releasing eggs.
Postmenopause are the years after menopause. During this stage, menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes, can ease for many women. But, as a result of a lower level of estrogen, postmenopausal women are at increased risk for a number of health conditions, such as osteoporosis and heart disease.
Nutrition plays a vital role in the quality of life in postmenopausal women. The aim is to determine the dietary intake, physical activity, and assess the body mass index (BMI) among postmenopausal women. Even though, nutrient and food group deficiencies were observed among postmen-opausal women physical inactivity and effects of menopausal transition instigate increased BMI imposing a need to educate on nutrition and physical activity.
The study presented here attempts to assess the lifestyle pattern and nutritional status of menopausal women. The nutritional status of the subjects was assessed by anthropometric measurements, biophysical estimations, Biochemical estimation.
The book will be useful to students pursuing various courses in Nutrition and Food Science, Home Science and dietitians as well.

Breeding of Horticultural Crops
V. Ponnuswami
,
T. Sumathi
Horticultural crops are those that serve to fit the special food and aesthetic needs of humans. In horticultural crops, quality is supreme. While it is true that there is no arguing about taste, the fact of the matter is that many horticultural crop cultivars with unique qualities are so unique, admired, and appreciated that they become the basis for entire industries. Examples include the 'Bartlett' ('Williams') pear which dominates fresh fruit production and is almost the only cultivar used for processing, 'Hayward' kiwifruit, 'Smooth Cayenne' pineapple (for processing), 'Clementine' mandarin, and 'Dwarf Cavendish' banana. In horticultural crops, breeding objectives must be consumer directed because consumers make individual decisions about consumption and make choices between different cultivars and alternate crop species.
Innovations of individual breeders combined with further breeding efforts to increase usefulness and adaptation are the key to horticultural progress. It is clear that a way must be found to incorporate consumer satisfaction in the selection process. The contents includes l Objectives and Scope of Plant Breeding l Modes of Reproduction, Mating Systems & Their Significance on Population Structure l Modes of Pollination Control and Systems of Breeding
l Sterility and Incompatibility Systems l Genetic Properties of Populations Under Equilibrium; Changes in Gene & Genotypic Frequency, Genetic Load, Genetic Drift l Factors Affecting Gene and Genotypic Frequency l Factors of Evolution and Speciation, Importance of Biodiversity Conservation l Implication of Taxonomy In Breeding l Mendalian Inheritance and Non Mendalian Inheritance l Crop Improvement Methods – Plant Introduction and Selection; Through Hybridization; Pedigree Breeding; Bulk and Single Seed Descent Method; Mass Selection,Recurrent and Reciprocal Recurrent Selection; Back Cross Breeding l Development of F1 Hybrids l Synthetics and Composites l Mutation Breeding l Polyploidy Breeding l Breeding Methods for Perennial Horticultural Crops l Breeding Methods for Annual Horticultural Crops
l Breeding for Biotic Resistance l Breeding for Abiotic Stress Resistance l Molecular Markers,Genetic Fedelity Conformation and Markers Assisted Selection l Genetic Transformation Methods in Plants l Gene Silencing
It is hoped that this book will be useful to all stakeholders involved in breeding in Horticulture. The book is designed to prepare students for postgraduate school or careers in research and development of horticultural crops. ..more

Insect Pests, Diseases & Post-Harvest Management of Horticultural Crops
L.C. De
Insects affect human beings by feeding on all kinds of plants including crop plants, forest trees, medicinal plants and even stored products causing huge amount of loss and also deterioration of food quality.In general, disease is an interaction among the host, parasite and the environment. Plant diseases may be due to pathogenic or non-pathogenic organisms. Pathogenic organisms include fungi, bacteria, fastidious vesicular bacteria, phytoplasmas, spiroplasmas, viruses, viroids, algae, protozoa and phanerogamic parasiteswhereas non-pathogenic diseases are influenced by environmental or non-living factors.
Post-harvest losses account for 27-30% of total food produced globally.Due to perishability in nature horticultural crops respire, transpire and ripen upon harvest thus deteriorating the food value of the produce for human consumption.Use of appropriate post-harvest technologies minimizes the post-harvest and storage losses; adds value to the produce, generates rural employment and renovate horti-based industries in the rural sector. Due to availability of a large number of traditional fruits and vegetables in India, there is need to develop protocols for primary processing and crop specific machineries.
In view of above, the present publication on ‘Insect Pests, Diseases and Post-harvest Management of Horticultural Crops’ is planned in 09 interesting chapters vividly highlighting various aspects covering insect pests and diseases of fruit and plantation crops, insect pests and diseases of vegetables and spices, insects pests and diseases of flowers, medicinal and aromatic plants, harvest and post-harvest handlings in fruit and plantation crops, harvest and post-harvest handlings in vegetable and spices, harvest & post-harvest handlings in flower, medicinal and aromatic plants, processing and value addition in fruit and plantation crops, processing and value addition in vegetables and spices and processing and value addition in flowers, medicinal and aromatic plants.
The book will be useful to teachers, students, scientists, nurserymen, landscape designer, planners, amateurs and professional gardeners and above all farmers.

Nutraceutical Spirulina : Commercial Cultivation Using Rural Technology in India
Pushpa Srivastava
Spirulina - the blue green alga is worldwide known for its highest nutrient contents in a balanced form required for human body. As such it has been raised from "nutrient" to "Nutraceutical, since it is food and medicine too. Its potentials were realised but its cultivation in semiarid zone of Rajasthan and seismatic zone of Gujarat remained an enigma. This book provides solutions to problems and makes Spirulina cultivation production within the reach of rich and poor both. It holds a great future so far its marketing is concerned. At home it has been less popular plant, since most of the produce is exported as it brings exciting revenue. However, the simplified technology not only makes it easily cultivated commercial alga, rather simultaneously provides handsome profits. It is a unique plant which provides health to its consumer and wealth to its cultivator.
The book is divided into 20-sections, covering almost all aspects of Spirulina cultivation including problems and their solutions. It covers a comprehensive literature on algal biotechnology in general and Rajasthan in particular. Significance of chemical composition is highlighted. The physical factors and chemical requirements that influence the biomass production are given sufficient space in the book. Ground nut shell ash extract - a novel nutrient added to the composition of the medium, is first on record. Commercial cultivation at Rajasthan and Gujarat states provide sufficient data for its production in any part of the country. The comparative account of the two states stands a witness to this fact.
The nutrient rich Spirulina proved its pharmaceutical significance in a number of diseases included in sections 10-18 that justify its designation as Nutraceutical. This book provides entire information pertaining to Spirulina cultivation in the country-side, cheap and easy and ruling out the myths about its production in rural areas. It will be an asset to botanists, scientists, research scholars and more so to enterpreneurs, who can happily lay their hands on commercial cultivation of Spirulina.
