To acquire skill on the husbandry of fruit crops, a clear understanding of the principles underlying scientific production of them is the pre-requisite. Although there have been a number of dependable books which devoted much attention on the cropping procedure of the varied fruit crops, separate titles dealing with the principles of cropping are not adequate under Indian conditions. The present title has therefore, been shaped which has confined to the methodology involved in establishment of fruit farms from scientific perspective, that is considered a vital step as regards the principles of fruit culture. The scientific procedure involved in building up fruit plantations right from selection of site till planting of propagating materials and post-planting care under the conditions of India having a diversity of fruit crops and their growing environment has been brought in the present title in order of sequence. The title therefore, caters to the need of the students of horticulture, pomology, applied botany and related disciplines as well as those who desire to set up orchards.
