Piperaceae is an economically important plant family. Members of this family grow in tropical forests from South Asia to Tropical America, including those of Africa and Australia. Several Piper spp. from India, southeast Asia and Africa are of economic importance since they are used as spices and traditional medicines. Many plant families have a global distribution, but a few have the rich ethnobotanical and ethno pharmaceutical history of Piperaceae. The pepper family Piperaceae in the order Piperales is commercially important because of Piper nigrum L. the source of black and white pepper. Betel leaf is another economically important product obtained from piper betle. The family comprises about 5 genera of which 2-Piper (about 2,000 species) and Peperomia (about 1,600 species)- are the most important. The plants grow as herbs vines shrubs, and trees and are widely distributed throughout the tropics and subtropics. The Piper belte L. P longum L. P. chaba Hunter are the some of the other important members of Piperacea family. The book contains useful information on various aspects of the family starting from taxonomy, botany cultivation to the medicine uses.

Creative ideas and expression of the human mind that have commercial value and are entitled to the legal protection of a property right. The major legal mechanisms for protecting Intellectual Property (IP) are copyrights patents and trademarks. IP rights enable owners to selectively give access to their intellectual property and to protect it from unauthorized use. The TRIPS Agreement establishes minimum levels of protection that each government has to provide to the IP of fellow WTO members. The government of India implemented a series of policy initiatives that have energized and focused R&D on generating new knowledge that could lead to viable technologies and processes of agricultural importance. Horticulture is an important sector which link Indian agriculture and farming community to global trading opportunities. Horticulture is also unique in that it directly addresses food and nutritional security issues in both urban and rural areas of the developing world. A strengthened horticulture sector can have a positive impact on global development. The present book addresses the potential role and importance of an appropriate system of intellectual property right in sustaining innovation and technological change in important areas of horticulture. Management of IP in horticulture sector is an important step for making available technologies to all stake holders. Hence the book on Intellectual Property Rights in Horticulture is timely and covers all aspects of IPR. The general topics include biodiversity and IPR issues patenting microorganisms and IPR issues in biotechnological interventions. Brief account of plant variety protection DUS testing and geographical indication are given. The chapter on procedures in patent application writing will be useful. Approaches and different forms of IPR in fruits vegetables ornamental crops spices medicinal aromatic and plantation crops are enumerated. This book would serve students researchers and industry as a hand book. It may also be used in the curriculum of agricultural universities for providing an overview. 322 pp.

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.

Several reports have shown that adequate intake of fruits form an important part of a healthy diet and low fruit intake constitute a risk factor for chronic diseases such as cancer, coronary heart disease, stroke and cataract formation. Fruits crops are thus considered essential for well-balanced diets since they supply vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre and phyto-chemicals. Special emphasis has been placed long back through the education on fruit science with the publication of the text-cum reference book in a single volume "Fruit Crops: Tropical and sub-tropical" as early as 1985. This book was greatly appreciated and proved valuable to the students, teachers, researchers and extension specialists in horticulture in general and fruit science in particular, in different parts of the world. Keeping the demand and interest of the stakeholders in view, this book was revised further in 1993 and 2002 through regular incorporation of updated research works in one and two volumes, respectively. Wide array of modern research approaches on fruit crops in India and abroad during last two decades warrant fourth revision of the book in four volumes. In this edition, every aspect of production, protection, breeding and biotechnology of 48 fruit crops grown in tropical and subtropical regions, were dealt with by eminent academicians and scientists on fruit crops in the country and abroad. This book, structured with thousands of references and colour photographs stands as unique of its own. Students, researchers, horticulturists, agricultural research scientists and extension personnel across the world will find this book very informative as well as practical.

From the Preface The present volume contains the details of tree species. As in case of volume 1 which dealt with major spices this volume contains 9 tree spices. Even though there are about 17 tree spices listed some of them such as mango pomegranate etc are treated more as fruits. The tree spices like clove nutmeg tamarind and cinnamon are relatively more important and they are grown in an area of 81189 ha with a production of 208445 tonnes. India also imports tree spices worth about 180 crores. Hence tree spices are very important economically. The present volume is an exhaustive review on botany crop improvement biotechnology and cultivation including pests and diseases. This volume would serve as a reference to all those involved in teaching extension and planning. The authors of various chapters have authoritatively reviewed each crop. We hope this book would also serve as a text book for post graduate students of horticulture as well as for those preparing for comparative examination. 372 pp.

From the preface Historically India is the largest spice producer and besides being a great consumer of spices. Over the years the world trade in spices has made a quantum jump to more than 4.5 million tones valued at US $ 1 500 million. India contributes to about 45 50 per cent of the world demand with a total area of around 2.5 million under spices cultivation. India produces around 2.8 million tones of spices annually of this 10 per cent of the total produce is exported to over 150 countries. The USA Europe Australia Japan the middle east and oceanic countries are the major importers of Indian spices. It was on the shores of Calicut the first European Vasco Da Gama landed. This led a series of historical change with the Dutch French and English vying with one another to occupy this land of spices. It was the desire to monopolize the spice trade that made many a European traveler to sail to India. Presently India is not only a leader in production of many spices the country has one of the world's best research institutes doing research on spices. There are more than 100 spices listed by ISO. India is also endowed with strong research base on spices. The world trade of spices is estimated to be around 4.5 million tones valued at US$ 1 500 million. Considering the importance the present attempt is to exhaustively review the work done on these crops in 2 volumes. The book covers exhaustive review on all aspects of spices namely cultivation breeding biotechnology pests and diseases and post harvest handling. Very eminent and authoritative scientists have contributed the chapters. The books will be of great use to all the researchers policy makers extension workers and students. It will be a great guide to those preparing for ARS examination of ICAR. 780 pp.

Colour versions of original plates in text. Index. The global changes warranted fastness in food production system and fast foods. In tune with demand crop production also oriented accordingly. However the proverb Health is a Wealth has reminded us to keep vigil on system and method of food production and food safety. The ill effect of conventional chemical based farming is well documented and public realized the importance of organically produced food and efforts are being made to popularize the organic production. India is a Land of Spices each state or union territory in India cultivates one or other spice. Since spices form a part of many medicines the demand for organically produced spices is increasing considerably. Assuming a market growth of 10% in Europe USA and Japan for organic spice products the world demand for organic spices may grow to 57000 tonnes in the next 10 years. Large scale use of high analysis fertilizers and pesticides result in environmental hazards and imbalances in soil nutrients. Since spices are high valued and export oriented in nature it is imperative to keep the levels of pesticide residues below tolerance limits in view of the standards set by the importing countries. Hence the book on Organic Spices is timely and covers all aspects of organic spice production. The topic includes historical spice trade and importance of spices in food chain. Brief account on organic agriculture movement in the world and its present status and opportunity for organic spices in the world market are given. The chemistry and different methods of composting are included in the organic manures chapter will be informative. Microbes play a greater role in agriculture a separate chapter devoted on microbes and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria would definitely enrich the readers. Not only that the topics on biological control of insect pests nematodes fungus and bacteria of spices highlighted in separate chapters would be of interest in organic production system. The importance composition uses botany and varieties organic way of production of spices like black pepper cardamom ginger turmeric chillies and paprika nutmeg vanilla seed spices like cumin fennel fenugreek coriander and their harvest and post harvest processing are enumerated. The chapters on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and organic certification procedures outlined for adoption.
