Handbook of Plum Fruit by Amir Gull,Gulzar Ahmad Nayik,Sajad Mohd Wani,Vikas Nanda Pdf

In the last ten years there has been an exponential increase in the adoption of high-density farming, which leads to better yield and higher-quality fruits, thus improving the economic return. Handbook of Plum Fruit: Production, Postharvest Science, and Processing Technology covers all the recent advances in plum production, harvesting, handling and processing. Divided into two main parts, the first eight chapters provide insight about preharvest processing of plums, whereas the later chapters discuss the postharvest processing of plums. This book also includes vital chapters on varietal improvement and rootstock breeding, high-density planting, and pollination. After harvesting, plum quality quickly diminishes, mainly due to weight loss, total acidity, loss of firmness, and decay. Key Features: In-depth information on the pre- and postharvest processing of plums Coverage on plum harvesting, handling, and storage practices Plum by-product utilization and potential health benefits Handbook of Plum Fruit provides comprehensive information on recent advances in postharvesting technologies of plum. The health benefits of plum and its products are also addressed. This book will assist horticulturists, agriculturists, pomologists, food scientists and others working in various fruit-processing industries.

Crop production manual by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Pdf

The states of Pohnpei and Yap in the Federated States of Micronesia currently produce limited amount of food locally. Exporting food is also limited therefore importing substantial quantities of vegetables, fruits and root crops amounts to millions of dollars annually. This is partly owing to a lack of necessary information on crop production locally to assist producers in their production. To help contribute to rectifying this situation, this manual is aimed to provide guidelines for farmers and producers on seedling production and management, plant spacing, cropping program, soil fertility and crop protection.
