A Colour Atlas of Post-harvest Diseases and Disorders of Fruits and Vegetables - Volume One: Introduction and Fruits

Manson Publishing, July 2010, Pages: 303

Now established worldwide as the standard guide to the recognition and understanding of the causes of deterioration in temperate and tropical fruits and vegetables, these superbly illustrated full-colour volumes (Volume 2) deal clearly, concisely and systematically with each of the main diseases and disorders, emphasising those of importance to international trade.

Dr Snowdon has designed each volume to be used in two different ways:

1. Full colour photographs and practical text provide the basis for preliminary identification by the owner or surveyor.

2. Using the microscope drawings and references, diagnosis can then be confirmed or modified by a specialist.

Key features:

- Over 970 high-quality colour photographs and microscope drawings
- Accessible text allowing use by a wide range of professionals and students
- Fully referenced plus key articles for further reading
- Useful appendices: Glossary, lexicon, storage charts
- Extensive index

Key areas covered in Volume 1:

- Nature and causes of post-harvest deterioration
- Citrus Fruits: Oranges
- Miscellaneous Tropical and Subtropical Fruits
- Pome Fruits
- Stone Fruits
- Soft Fruits and Berry Fruits
- Melons and Watermelons

Reviews:

Tropical Agriculture Association Newsletter

"...well presented and ideally suited for those involved in the handling and storage of fruit...an easy and compact reference."
Deciduous Fruit Grower
