Additionally, the book covers plant cultural practices such as training and pruning, fruit thinning, fruit quality improvement, and the use of plant growth regulators. The book also addresses special problems in fruit cultivation, harvesting and production, post-harvest fruit technology, insect-pest and disease management, and marketing and export potential. The book is organized into three sections, with the first covering two leading sub-tropical fruits of the country, the second covering four, and the third covering six sub-tropical fruits in order of their importance. The book has been written by scientists working in various universities, institutions, and research stations, who have contributed their expertise in their respective areas of specialization. The book will be highly beneficial to graduate and post-graduate students in Fruit Science, fruit growers, scientists, and extension workers.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSection 1: Culture and Technology of Major Tropical Fruits \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.
