Sinopsis

The book A Handbook of Horticultural Sciences Vol. 1 is an extensive resource that provides a comprehensive overview of various topics in Horticulture. It serves as a valuable reference guide for students, professors, researchers, builders, and horticulturists. The book consists of five units that cover Fundamentals of Horticulture, Growth and Development of Horticultural Crops, Propagation of Horticultural Crops, Management of Horticultural Crops, and Production Technology of Fruit Crops. Each unit is comprised of numerous chapters that are detailed according to the ICAR syllabus.

This handbook is highly beneficial for those studying for competitive examinations such as Central and State Public Service Commission exams, SSC, Forestry exams, ICAR AIEEA for JRF and SRF exams, PG admissions, ARS, ICAR-NET, IBPS-AFO exams, and Post graduate entrance examinations for IARI, BHU, SAU, CAU, Deemed Universities, Private Agricultural Colleges, and more. The book is especially useful for those preparing for the aforementioned exams as it includes facts and figures at the end of each unit. In unit I, the book provides information on Institutes under ICAR, special names of Horticultural crops, causes for colour/bitterness of fruits and vegetables, major nutritional deficiency symptoms, and area, production, export, and import of Horticultural crops during previous years. Meanwhile, in unit 5, the book presents a table with common and scientific names of fruit crops, their family, chromosome number, origin, inflorescence, fruit types, flowering and fruiting period, and an abstract of production technology of fruit crops. These tables are incredibly helpful for graduates preparing for competitive exams.
