Description

Horticulture has been studied and practised for a very long timeóthousands of years. Horticulture aided in the transition of human populations from nomadic to sedentary or semi-sedentary lifestyles. Horticulture is broken down into a number of sections that concentrate on growing and preparing various kinds of plants and foods for certain uses. The book's fully extended edition was expressly developed with the goal that it will offer suitable assistance for horticultural lovers as well as students studying applied botany, agriculture, and horticulture. In this book, the production of new cultivars of important horticulture crops has received more emphasis than the ideas and techniques used in breeding such crops. The book was created with the primary objective of serving as both a text and a reference. The entire book has been organised into three main chapters with this in mind. The ideas and techniques used in developing horticultural crops that are propagated both sexually and asexually are covered in the first chapter. The accomplishments in breeding perennial horticulture crops are covered in the second chapter. The accomplishments in crop breeding for annual horticulture are covered in the third chapter.
