Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Since the publication of 'The coconut palm - A monograph' in 1960, considerable information has been accrued on the crop through work at research institutes, international organisations and development agencies. Although coconut cultivation is spread over 93 countries, providing employment and creating livelihood opportunities to 64 million families around the globe, smallholder coconut farmers are now facing numerous challenges. The wide gap between the potential and actual yield is a major concern, and as such it is necessary to disseminate knowledge in order to implement research findings. Coconut research in India, one of the leading coconut producing countries, is celebrating its centenary, making this an opportune time to review the research and development advances and the relevant technologies. This detailed, comprehensive book covers all aspects of coconut, from the origins to cultivation, breeding, physiology and value addition, as well as subjects of topicalinterest like nutrition and health, biotechnology, and climate change and carbon sequestration. Written by leading experts in the fields it emphasises that the livelihood of the small coconut landholders is the ultimate aim of scientists and developmental agencies, and outlines various important strategies to make coconut farming more remunerative globally. It discusses work in all the major coconut growing countries and outlines suggestions for international cooperation.Research work on the crop is comparatively difficult because of its perennial nature, longevity, height, long juvenile phase, large sized nuts, cross pollination and seed propagation. As these special features necessitate greater investment of resources, time and land, it is all the more imperative that research is not duplicated and the information and experience becoming available around the world is shared so that it can be fully utilised. In this context periodic publications, compiling all the available information on coconut assume greater significance. This book is therefore of great value to researchers, students, extension workers, developmental agencies and progressive farmers.…

List of new Taxa published in this book. Bryophytes the amphibians of the plant kingdom occupy almost all kinds of habitats in almost all parts of the globe. These are a group of plants with distinct identity known to the mankind from time immemorial and consist of three lineages viz. Liverworts Hornworts and Mosses. Even though neglected for the lack of direct economic importance or un assuming nature they play important role in ecosystem dynamics nutrient cycling soil binding providing microhabitats for other plant and animals fills gaps in the habitats promote plant succession etc. They also serve as ideal study objects giving insights into the plant evolution monitoring the ecosystem health and pollution levels. However the studies on this group are comparatively lesser in India and most of them are confined to the Himalayas. Even tough the Southern India despite with its blessed climatic and geographical features of the Western Ghats is equally rich as the Himalayas still remains bryologically under explored. This book is the result of extensive explorations on the bryophytes of Wayanad the mountainous district in the Western Ghats of Kerala notable for its unique geographical location with varied topography and associated habitat diversity supporting unique assemblage of biodiversity. Except for the coast and backwaters almost all habitat types of South India from low altitude to the high altitude grasslands and shola forests occur in Wayanad which forms the major part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. This book contains illustrative accounts of 171 species and two varieties of bryophytes belonging to 105 genera and 47 families including two new species viz. Trichostomum Wayanadensis and Amphidium gangulii. Seven species and one variety are new distribution records to India 31 species and one variety are new records to Peninsular India and 43 are new records to Kerala. Easy to follow keys and descriptions of family genus and species are provided supported with more than 160 figures and 200 photographs. Each species is treated in detail with the updated scientific name important synonyms relevant to the Indian context and taxonomic description. Its macro and microhabitat details Indian as well as global distribution and details of the voucher specimens are also given. Most of the bryophytes described in this book enjoys a wider distribution in South India makes this book usable as an identification manual in almost all parts of the Western Ghats. This book fulfils the long felt need for a comprehensive taxonomic identification manual on the bryophytes of South India. 284 pp.…
