Temperate and Subtropical Fruit Production. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.Temperate and Subtropical Fruit Production

Effective fruit production requires general knowledge of aspects of fruit husbandry such as nutrition, propagation, pruning and training, effects of climate and crop protection, as well as specific cultivation techniques for each fruit. Fully revised and expanded, this new edition provides a thorough introduction to the cultivation of fruit found throughout the temperate and subtropical regions of the world.

A graduate of Lincoln College in the late 1950's, he joined the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research where he investigated aspects of tree growth, flowering, fruiting, and storage of apples, pears, peaches, apricots and nectarines. Between 1961 and 1964 he studied for a PhD at the Waite Institute in Adelaide. In 1968 he returned to Lincoln where he extended his research to include grape production and physiology. He is co-author of The Production of Grapes and Wine in Cool Climate Viticulture, Pruning and Training, and Edible Tree Nuts in New Zealand.

graduated in horticulture from Wye College, University of London. Between 1971 and 1978 he lectured in crop and horticultural sciences at the University of Swaziland and completed an MSc in Applied Plant Sciences with London University. His experience in southern Africa broadened his range beyond temperate fruit production. He emigrated to New Zealand and joined the staff of Lincoln University in 1978. He currently lectures in horticulture and viticulture and supervises postgraduate students. In his research he has worked with subtropical and temperate fruits including kiwifruit, pepino, persimmon, feijoa, raspberry, strawberry, apples and pears.
