Seed Physiology will give an insight into fundamentals of seed science. The first evergreen revolution bloomed as a result of development of high yielding varieties and timely availability of good quality seeds. Modern agriculture is unsustainable, as it cannot continue to produce enough food for the ever-growing population. In order to increase the production potential under stressful environment with limited resources the use of high quality seeds is ...
Recent past a very good amount of research in the field of seed science and technology is being undertaken across the country. Seed research includes seed biology, seed management, seed quality enhancement, production and maintenance of basic seed material, seed production and agronomy, pre-harvest and post-harvest management of seed, seed processing, seed quality control, storage of both orthodox and recalcitrant seeds, seed health, seed industry and ...

Tree improvement is achieved by clonal selection due to improvements in vegetable propagation techniques. The clonal propagation offers higher genetic gain than that is possible with seed propagation. The clonal technology facilititates rapid selection of outstanding genotypes from the clonal stocks of candidate trees for the exploitation of heterosis. The literature available on vegetative propagation is very extensive and not easily accessible. Hence this book ...
The unique feature of this book is the inclusion of chapters explaining the recent trends in vegetable seed production apart from the techniques of quality seed production in vegetables. Part I of this volume includes chapters explaining the recent trends in vegetable seed production like importance of vegetables in food security and nutrition, seed industry, vegetable production, botany, pollination and isolation mechanisms, integrated disease and pest ...
To meet the challenges posed by agriculture and to fill the gap in our knowledge on seed technology, this book is a special contribution. The book contains a wealth of information on seed hardening, pelleting and coating. The subject material is presented in seven parts. The first part of this book deals with seed, soil, water and nutrient management technologies for sustainable production in rainfed and gardenland systems. The second part is highlighted with ...
The forest area in most of the countries is declining at an alarming rate and efforts must be immediately taken to increase the production of forest trees. The use of good quality seeds is an absolute necessity which involves the implementation of the advanced forest tree seed technologies. Hence, this volume is edited with the objective to provide knowledge on the aspects of forest tree seed technology and management. This volume has a ...
This book "Forest Tree Seed Production" is the outcome of sincere efforts taken for compilation of information regarding seed production technologies from numerous journals, periodicals, research papers and famous books. This book covers a wide range of subjects with lot of references and also includes description about the seed production technologies for 37 important forest tree species. The general morphology, flowering and fruiting behaviour, seed ...
Forestry is a broad subject which deals on multi-disciplinary aspects like Silviculture, forest soils, properties of soils, forests policies, forests law, botany of tree species, surveying protection, logging which includes felling and conversion, transport, storage, mensuration, grading timber etc. There is no horizon end for the subject forestry, in which there is tremendous progress in recent years. The role of forestry in not just limited to economic rewards ...
