Plants of horticultural importance with numerous species and innumerable varieties and cultivars ranging from enormous trees of more than 100 m high to small herbs comprising fruits vegetables ornamentals plantation crops spices medicinal and aromatic plants are of great commercial value providing food shelter beverages oil paper rubber medicine and natural essential oils etc. Numerous ornamental plants are extensively grown for beautification outdoors throughout the world and as houseplants indoors cut flowers constitute a major item in the beautification programme and in commercial floriculture. The plants in general trees and shrubs in particular many of which are of horticultural importance are friendly to environment contributing enormously for sustaining life on the earth by releasing oxygen reducing the level of carbon dioxide and industrial gases that cause air pollution and global warming minimizing erosion maintaining soil fertility encouraging recreation etc. resulting in a better environment for a better life. The cultivation practices of large number of horticultural crops in greenhouses and outdoors standardized through research investigations have brought about marked improvement in quality and production. Application of biotechnology has resulted in remarkable progress in the science and production technology of horticultural crops including medicinal and aromatic plants and in developing resistance to diseases and pests through genetic transformation. In view of the enormous importance of horticultural crops for a healthy life in a better environment an effort was made to write a dictionary of horticulture. The major objective of the present endeavour is to provide useful literature in all groups of horticultural crops including those grown in warm climate. In addition to the morphological characters of many genera and thousands of species and cultivars their uses cultivation practices of major crops have been written keeping in view that a brief write up may not always serve a useful purpose as a guide to production. Apart from the usual importance and priority on fruits vegetables ornamentals plantation crops and spices an emphasis has been given on important medicinal and aromatic plants many species of which are of tropical and subtropical origin. The uses and cultivation methods of many of these plants have been included. The book will be published in 10 volumes comprising about 600 pages each with 500 to 600 illustrations in colour. This multi volume publication is expected to augment interest in general horticulture and also to provide useful information on various aspects of different groups of horticultural crops their taxonomy uses and production technology with emphasis on tropical and subtropical plants. 3088-3738.…

The third edition of this book has been the result of a thorough revision with updated information that was first published in 1986 reprinted in 1991 and further revised and published in 1997. Meanwhile lot of information has been generated in the field of propagation of horticultural crops in general and micro propagation in particular. The existing conventional propagation practices have been either improved or new methods have been evolved and a revolution has occurred in the field of biotechnology. While preparing the manuscript on Biotechnology of Horticultural Crops which was published in 3 volumes accumulation of enormous and valuable information on propagation of horticultural crops particularly from in vitro culture was very encouraging to bring out another revision of this book on propagation. It was a difficult task to summerise both macro and micro propagation of horticultural crops along with fundamentals of propagation practices within a proposed programme of a manuscript in one volume. The present edition is therefore published in two volumes. The first volume consists of propagation practices of fruit crops and 5 general chapters on fundamentals of sexual and asexual propagation propagation techniques and tissue culture methods. 662 pp.…
