Información de la editorial

Many vegetable crops represent high value products, and so it is essential to have a clear understanding of the physiology that lies behind their successful production, as this enables the crop to be managed in the most effective way. The first section of this valuable book takes a general
look at the key stages during the growth of the plant and also looks at what can influence those stages. The second section is a detailed consideration of each of the major crops, with each chapter discussing the physiological aspects of vegetable growth, the induction of the reproductive structure,
reproductive growth, senescence, and any physiological disorders. Leading workers from the USA and Europe have been brought together in this one volume to produce a valuable reference source for advanced students of horticulture and crop production, research workers, teachers, and all concerned
with plant physiology
