Handbook of environmental physiology of fruit crops (1st)

See all formats and editions

These exciting new companion handbooks are the only ones of their kind devoted solely to the effects of environmental variables on the physiology of the world's major fruit and nut crops.

Their cosmopolitan scope includes chapters on tropical and temperate zone species written by scientists from several continents.

The influence of environmental factors, such as irradiance, temperature, water and salinity on plant physiology and on vegetative and reproductive growth, is comprehensively discussed for each crop.

In addition to being a thorough and up-to-date set of textbooks, the organzation of the two volumes makes them an excellent reference tool.

Each chapter focuses on a single crop, or a group of genetically or horticulturally related crop, and is appropriately divided into subsections that address individual environmental factors.

Some chapters emphasize whole-plant physiology and plant growth and development, while other chapters feature theoretical aspects of plant physiology.

Several chapters provide botanical background discussions to enhance understanding of the crop's response to its environment.
