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.

India is the largest producer of mango banana coconut cashew nuts ginger turmeric and black pepper and the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables. India accounts for 10 per cent of the world fruit production and is the second largest producer of vegetables with 113.0 mt. contributing to 14.4% of total world production. The area and production of flowers spices and condiments mushrooms coconut and cashew also indicated three fold increases in last few decades. The rapid technological advances in varietal improvement made by ten central institutes 27 regional centers 6 directorates 7 national research centers and 14 AICRPs with 223 centres and three full fledged horticulture universities existing across the country have led to development to nearly 1500 improved varieties of horticultural crops numbering about 130 since fifties. Similarly all these institutes maintain a large gene pool in the form of genetic resources. The information would be of great use to students researchers and industry. The present book is a compilation of all the varieties developed in different horticultural crops detailing their specific traits along with the breeding methodology used to develop them. Every crop is dealt with a brief account of breeding methods followed by the varieties developed in the country. There are information on the varieties developed using various breeding methods. 564 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.

Plantation crops are of high commercial value and used by the people all over the world but mainly grown in the tropical regions. The important plantation crops are coconut and oil palm (oil yielding crops) tea coffee and cocoa (beverage crops) arecanut and betelvine (small holder's crop) cashew (nut crop) rubber (industrial crop) bamboo (timber crop) Palmyra (under exploited plantation crop). Man of the plantation crops and their products are the major source of livelihood of rural population throughout the tropics and these crops also generate direct and indirect employment opportunities. This publication of about 1050 pages (in two volumes) provides an exhaustive and updated information based on world review of scientific literature on plantation crops. This comprehensive and well illustrated book will serve as an excellent text on plantation crops. Emphasis has been laid on some emerging topics like biotechnological approach to crop improvement integrated management of pests and diseases organic management product diversification and value added products and important research areas to be tackled in future. It is hoped that this book with current and complete scientific information will serve the interest of students teachers researchers planters and extension specialists. 560 pp.
