Synopsis

About the Book: Postharvest Technology of Horticultural Crops Postharvest Technology is a very important branch of agriculture and its importance further increases in the field of horticulture, as the horticultural crops are highly perishable in nature. This necessitates undertaking continuous research on the preservation of these perishables. As such, there is no book or manual available which discusses the basics of undertaking laboratory or research experiments on various topics pertaining to the postharvest management of horticultural crops. The students, teachers and researchers often search a direct reference which is complete on the subject for an undergraduate or postgraduate student. Contents 1.
