The Geography of Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum M.) by Kodoth Prabhakaran Nair Pdf

This book catalogues the multi-scale impact of agronomy and economy on Cardamom, known as the “Queen” of spices. Cardamom is the second most important spice crop in the world, after Black pepper, known as the “King” of spices. Spices were the symbols of luxury and royalty, and cardamom was used in the manufacture of perfumes during the Greek and Roman times. It became one of the most important Oriental spices used in both Greek and Roman cuisine as well as its pharmacological applications. The book is divided into 15 chapters and concentrates on aspects of cardamom production and processing, the taxonomic aspects of cardamom, chemistry, pathology, entomology and is concluded with the future of cardamom. Special emphasis is given to the utility of “The Nutrient Buffer Power Concept”, a soil management technique in precise fertilizer management, especially with regard to Potassic fertilizers in cardamom production.

Crop Pollination by Bees, Volume 2 by Keith S. Delaplane Pdf

Since the second half of the 20th Century, our agricultural bee pollinators have faced mounting threats from ecological disturbance and pan-global movement of pathogens and parasites. At the same time, the area of pollinator-dependent crops is increasing globally with no end in sight. Never before has so much been asked of our finite pool of bee pollinators. This book not only explores the evolutionary and ecologic bases of these dynamics, it translates this knowledge into practical research-based guidance for using bees to pollinate crops. It emphasizes conserving wild bee populations as well as culturing honey bees, bumble bees, and managed solitary bees. To cover such a range of biology, theory, and practice from the perspectives of both the pollinator and the crop, the book is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 focuses on bees, their biology, coevolution with flowering plants, foraging ecology and management, and gives practical ways to increase bee abundance and pollinating performance on the farm. Volume 2 (this volume) focuses on crops, with chapters addressing crop-specific requirements and bee pollination management recommendations. Both volumes are essential reading for farmers, horticulturists and gardeners, researchers and professionals working in insect ecology and conservation, and students of entomology and crop protection.

Minor Spices and Condiments by Kodoth Prabhakaran Nair Pdf

Spices can be classified as major spices, like Black pepper, Cardamom, Turmeric, Ginger etc, and minor spices and condiments, and tree spices. This book will discuss exclusively minor spices and condiments. Spices constitute a very important group of agricultural products, which, since antiquity, have been considered indispensable in the culinary art of flavoring foods. The history of spices is very much entwined with the history of mankind. And, some spice crops like Black pepper predominates in the family of spices. In fact, colloquially, it is called “King”of spices and, another, Cardamom, is called the “Queen”of spices. There is worthwhile amount of published work, on these in addition to Turmeric and Ginger. Both ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and ISI (Indian Standards Institution) (now BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards)) experts concluded, after considerable deliberations, that there is no clear-cut division between “spices” and “çondiments”, and, as such, they have been clubbed together. The term “Spices and Condiments” applies to such natural plant or vegetable products or mixtures, thereof, used in whole or ground form, mainly for imparting flavor, aroma and piquancy to foods and also for seasoning of foods and beverages like soups etc. A detailed survey of published literature proves that there are a number of minor spices, which have tremendous commercial potential, globally. And, an authentic book on these will not only serve as an important guide to the academic community, but, also provide a fillip to industry involved in value addition.

A Farmer's Handbook Ecofriendly Cardamom Cultivation by Varadarasan Shanmugavel Pdf

Small cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum Maton) is a spice crop cultivated for more than a century in the high altitude (600 - 1200 m above msl) of Western Ghats of Southern India under shade of diverse species of trees. Even though Cardamom cultivation requires rational intervention with chemical pesticides and fertilizers to make the yield sustainable, excess use of these external inputs, as necessitated by intensive cultivation makes the cultivation nonviable. Hence an insight into Ecofriendly cultivation empower the farming community to adopt sustainable cultivation with minimum external inputs, soil health management, conservation of natural enemies of pests and diseases etc. for reaping economically sustainable yield. The most important points covered in the books are: low external inputs, reducing labourrequirements in an era of labour scarcity for farm works, reducing drudgery for farmers, practical and easy methods of improving the soil health as well as conservation of natural enemies of pests and pollinators etc. Such guidelines benefit farmers to reduce the cost of cultivation, produce pesticide residue-free cardamom and to have economically sustainable yield; also aid in conservation of the serene Western Ghats ecosystem for posterity. The present book is written in two parts, the main text and annexes. The main text contains the required information to farmers for Ecofriendly cultivation of cardamom. The annexes contain basic and relevant information on the subjects covered in the main text with a little more scientific terminology. The objective of the book is elaborated in the preface and introduction. A brief history of cardamom cultivation in India is outlined in the first chapter and basic information on cardamom is elaborated in the chapter on 'Know your cardamom' which would be very useful for farmers and the public who wish to know about the crop. The terminology used in this chapter helps to understand information provided in the ensuing chapters. The next chapter 'Planting and maintenance' elaborates on establishing a cardamom field even by a new farmer; methods of seed collection/planting material selection, production of planting materials, field preparation, planting and after care are the highlights in this chapter. The essence of Ecofriendly cardamom cultivation is elaborated in the chapter on 'Requirements for sustainable cultivation' and in the Annexes (I to XVI). Basic requirements for Ecofriendly cardamom cultivation are shade management, pest and disease management, soil health management, conservation and augmentation of natural enemies of pests and pollinators. One of the major problems faced by farmers is the crop loss due to fungal diseases; basic information on preventing/reducing the fungal diseases is addressed by way of practical methods of improving the soil health which in turn supports beneficial and disease antagonistic microbes. The annexes (Annexes I to XVI) are added to increase the value of the handbook; the information provided are for broadening the understanding of the basic concept of the book viz.
