Horticultural crops are gaining importance throughout the world not only as food or economic crops but also for their importance as raw material for value-added products and industrial uses. A comprehensive, updated information on horticultural crops, with emphasis on production technology was a long standing demand which has been met by the voluminous works in Tropical Horticulture 1 and 2. Tropical Horticulture 1 dealing with fruits, plantation crops and spices has been well-accepted, and the volume 2, dealing with the following aspects of horticulture will also be useful to the students, researchers, horticulturists, planters, farmers and entrepreneurs alike.
