Temperate Tree Fruits and Nuts presents up-to-date information regarding economically important temperate fruit crops in a comprehensive manner. It explains the history, genetic improvements, and production physiology of growth and cropping. It delves into orchard establishment and management, and harvest considerations for sustainable fruit crop production under temperate conditions. This textbook functions as a one-stop standalone resource that provides all relevant information considered essential to the field of Pomology. Temperate Tree Fruits and Nuts is targeted toward undergraduate and postgraduate students and professionals in the field of pomology (fruit crops). It is broadly useful for students pursuing degrees in horticulture, agricultural science, plant science, or related fields. Additionally, it is an essential resource for researchers, researchers, farmers, consultants, industrial stakeholders, and agribusiness professionals involved in critical aspects of fruit and nut production, and orchard management. Each chapter is focused on a specific temperate fruit crop and authored by an expert for that crop. The outline of each chapter will include an introduction, and information on origin-spread and economic importance. It will offer an exposition of the botany and relevant species of the crop, and details on orchard management (fertilization, irrigation, pruning, thinning), propagation, rootstocks, cultivars, and main diseases and their management. Lastly each chapter will delineate the main pests attacking the fruit crop, and their management, as well as ripening, harvest criteria, postharvest physiology, and technology of the fruit crop. This textbook incorporates supplementary resources in the form of high-quality graphic illustrations for students and a question bank for instructors.

Since 1983, when the last edition was published, there have been important new developments in crop husbandry methods as well as an increasing awareness of political and ecological pressures. These pressures have resulted in considerable changes in crop husbandry and the new edition reflects these changes by updating all chapters and by including new sections on combinable crops, organic farming and nitrogen leaching. As in previous editions this book presents all the modern crop production methods in a comprehensive and easily understood manner. As such it should continue to be the standard textbook for all crop husbandry syllabi at all levels of agricultural teaching.
