"In India almost all types of horticultural crops are grown under wide
range of agro-climatic conditions. India enjoys an enviable position in the
horticulture map of the world. Thirteen All India Coordinated Research
Projects under horticulture, with 251 centres spread over 26 States and one
Union Territory contributed significantly in developing high yielding value
added varieties/hybrids, agro-techniques and cropping system suitable for
each region and mitigation strategies to solve location specific problems.
Research achievements and accomplishments, covering genetic
resources/biodiversity, varieties/hybrids released for cultivation;
agro-techniques and production system technologies, IPM strategies, quality
plating materials and technology demonstration and transfer, each under
tropical fruits, sub-tropical fruits, arid zone fruits, palms, cashew,
spices, vegetables, potato, tuber crops, mushrooms, medicinal and aromatic
plants, betel vine and floriculture for different agro-climatic zones/
regions are compiled in these two volumes. Different chapters are authored
by competent and eminent scientists of the project in Horticulture
Division. The two volumes will be an invaluable source of reference not
only for scientists and research workers but also to progressive farmers,
industrialists, teachers, students and policy makers in India as well as
abroad."
