About this title

About the Author:

Norman Looney is at the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre, Canada.

Review:

"Authoritative crop husbandry science books based on firsthand knowledge and experience are rare. Here is one such volume! ... Consequently, books of this quality are much needed as primary guides of science-based fruit culture. It is of value to all sections of horticulture from growers to advisors to students, teachers and researchers. All serious horticulturists should have a copy on their bookshelves." (G. R. Dixon 2011-07-01)

Praise for the second edition:
"This new publication represents a comprehensive update of temperate and subtropical fruit production practices in a structure and style which works well as both
a core pomology text and basic reference for these increasingly information intensive
times."
