These crops belong to lesser-known plant species in terms of research, medicinal properties, nutritive value, and marketing aspects. However, they are well-adapted to various growing conditions, such as degraded land, low water availability, frost resistance, and high temperature tolerance. Numerous studies have shown that underutilized wild edible plants possess significant nutritional value.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFruits, in particular, are considered protective foods due to their high content of vitamins, phytochemicals, and minerals. They are also an excellent source of soluble dietary fiber, which helps lower cholesterol and fats in the body and promotes healthy bowel movements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFocusing on neglected and minor fruit crops can help improve local diets and generate income sources for small and marginal fruit growers. These crops also possess antioxidant properties that help remove free radicals from the body, providing protection against chronic and infectious diseases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn conclusion, a focus on underutilized fruit crops is a useful strategy for promoting a diverse and healthy diet, combating micronutrient deficiencies, and addressing hidden hunger and other dietary deficiencies, particularly among rural poor communities and vulnerable social groups in developing countries.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassification of Fruits, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse of Field Tools in Fruit Nursery, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNutrient Management in Fruit Crops, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCultivation of Minor Fruits, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLayout and Planting of Orchard, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant Propagation and Its Methods, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrchard Management under Rainfed Condition, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining and Pruning, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResearch Organizations in Horticulture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"New India Publishing Agency – NIPA","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52652705448216,"sku":"9789389130171","price":97.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/fruit-production-minor-fruits-hardback-9789389130171","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
