Hardcover. Zustand: New. India is by far the largest producer of litchi after China. Within India, Bihar is the largest producer of litchi. Because of low productivity and various kinds of pre and post harvest losses, litchi is slowly getting costly and going out of reach of the common man. Therefore, the question before us today is how to increase productivity and quality of litchi. The reasons for low productivity of litchi are many. Most of the commercial cultivars are location specific with long gestation period and late bearing habit. Commercial litchi farming so far is done by large farmers who are capable of sustaining long gestation period and failure of crops. When the tree is full of vigour, the dominance of vegetative phase prevails over reproductive phase in some varieties and at some locations which adversely affects flowering, fruit set and fruit growth, and some times fruit drop due to high competition for photosynthates also become limiting factor to litchi production. Besides, there are many pests, diseases and disorders which affect the economic cultivation of litchi. It has been observed that orchardists owner or contractors are active in their orchards only when flowers or fruits are present on the trees for rest of the period, they take little care of their orchards. To maintain vigour, growth and productivity, it is necessary to perform proper operations throughout the year. The main reason behind poor productivity and low profitability of litchi is the poor knowledge of farming community. In litchi, some problems arise due to growers negligence and others are brought about by pests, diseases, disorders, plant physiology and climate. Growers' negligence/mistakes may occur in setting up an orchard, drainage, irrigation systems, selecting varieties, planting, fertilizing, shaping the plant, weed control, mulching, pruning and canopy management, use of growth regulators, harvesting, packing, marketing and quality management. Other problems such as pest, disease and fruit disorders may occur by their own or may aggravate due to negligence of farmers. Many books and information bulletin on litchi are available, however most of them are of facts oriented which often lack in operational guidelines. This book has been prepared in problem solving mode in such a way as readers can easily understand and adopt the litchi technology which have been developed by different knowledge groups for betterment of the litchi industry. We hope that this book would serve the purpose of farmers and those who are engaged in litchi industry.

The productivity of mango is low due to poor initial planning inferior planting material poor orchard management practices unscientific post harvest practices and natural calamities. Vegetative dominance over reproductive phase irregular flowering erratic fruit set and its growth fruit drop post harvest losses pests diseases disorders and adverse climatic conditions affect the economic cultivation of mango. In order to avoid loss and increasing profitability it is necessary to take steps from initial stage so that vigour and growth of the orchard is maintained by performing proper operations right from planning of orchard to Sale of the produce. In mango cultivation today major issues are nutrition irrigation pests diseases and disorders which can be rated as the critical issues for attention to improve its productivity and quality. Improvement in production of planting material is an area that needs action to stop or slow down the re cycling of disease and pest problems in old and new orchards. Educating growers contractors and extension officers on these aspects to broaden their knowledge base is the key issue of the day. The present book has been prepared to address the field related problems of mango growers in action mode with a view that scientific planning good horticultural practices and proper pest knowledge save a farmer from problems and losses in future. The book is presented in simple language without the load of conflicting views so that readers can understand and take proper steps from very beginning to avoid problems in future. Altogether 21 chapters and an appendix of the book cover various aspects of mango cultivation and problems based on updated information vis a vis research and field experiences of the authors. 302 pp.

The country ranks second in terms of fruit production after China with an annual production of nearly 50 million tons from an area of about 4.0 million hectares. However we are short in supplying the required quantity of fruits as per dietary recommendation for our increasing population. The major reason for non availability of required quantity of fruits is lack of sufficient production from the existing area under cultivation and post harvest management in different fruit crops. The possible solution to mitigate the shortfall could be either increase in productivity with improved management practices and varieties of existing crops and post harvest handling techniques or increase in area under fruit production. In the present book the information pertaining to importance and uses taxonomy plant genetic resources and varieties plant propagation and nursery management production technologies and processing and value addition techniques of 27 such lesser known tropical and subtropical fruits of the country has been compiled. The updated information on these crops have been reviewed and suitably placed with the help of tables and figures. The long working experience in these crops has enable to collate and synthesize the useful informations for the better understanding. The main purpose of writing this book is to assemble information on various aspects of these underutilized and lesser known fruit crops in order to identify the constraints and research gaps to work upon and develop sustainable technology for the future so that these crops can find place in Indian horticultural scenario and help to nutrition security and poverty elevation programmes of the country. The information presented in this book will be a useful tool for teachers students extension functionaries development personals policy makers fruit growers and traders. 556 pp.
