This book has been created to meet the needs of undergraduate and graduate students at State and Central Agricultural Universities studying vegetable science and horticultural science. The book offers an extensive overview of environmental and growth factors, seedling and graft production, nutrient and water management, organic and protected farming, crop protection, and post-harvest management of vegetable crops. In addition, the book provides detailed information on 42 major and minor vegetable crops grown in the tropical and subtropical regions, including their origin and taxonomy, importance and uses, botany, nutritional and medicinal values, and plant protection measures and post-harvest management. The author's extensive experience in teaching and research on various aspects of vegetable science at a State Agricultural University was leveraged in developing this book.
