The book entitled "Fruit production: problems and Solutions" is a unique book of its own kind, which deals exclusively with the problems of fruit production and their possible remedial measures. It is a comprehensive book, written in a simple, understanding language and in a lucid manner. It has numerous photographs and figures to make it much more explanatory. It contains 33 chapters, spread over in six sections, such as, Common problems of fruits (Unfruitfulness. Alternate bearing, fruit drop, non-availability of genuine planting material, mismatch harvests etc.), Crop specific chronic problems (mango malformation, citrus granulation, guava wilt, coconut wilt, apple scab etc), Physiological disorders, Biotic stresses (insect-pests, diseases, nematodes, birds, weeds etc), Abiotic stresses (salinity, frost, water excess or stress etc.) and Miscellaneous problems. It is hoped that this book would be of practical use to the under-graduate (UG) and post-graduate (PG) students, farmers, teachers, researchers, extension workers and fruit growers.
