"A plantation is a large-scale farm that specializes in cash crops and cultivated on an extensive scale in a large contiguous area, owned and managed by an Individual or a company. The crops include tea, coffee, rubber, cocoa, coconut, arecanut, oil palm, palmyrah, cashew, cinchona etc. These plantation crops are high value commercial crops of greater economic importance and play a vital role in a nation economy. Probably the single most important factor a plantation has on the local environment is the site where the plantation is established. If natural forest is cleared for a planted forest then a reduction in biodiversity and loss of habitat will likely result. In some cases, their establishment may involve draining wetlands to replace mixed hardwoods that formerly predominated with pine species. If a plantation is established on abandoned agricultural land, or highly degraded land, it can result in an increase in both habitat and biodiversity. A planted forest can be profitably established on lands that will not support agriculture or suffer from lack of natural regeneration. However, the prospects of spice crop production are bright because of its high market demand. The most common type of spice crops grown are onion, garlic, ginger, black pepper, hot pepper, celery, shallots, leek, bay leaf, and tanglad. Among these crops however, only onion, garlic, ginger, black pepper, and hot pepper are grown commercially because of their high market demand and usefulness. Spices are primarily used as food seasoning. In addition to their culinary uses, spices are also utilized as flavoring agent in beverages, active ingredient in syrubic medicines, coloring agent of textiles, and an important constituent in cosmetic and perfume products. This Book Plantation and Spices Crops presents an overview of the importance of plantation crops and spice plants, as well as the current status of the cultivation of these crops. It covers plant production aspects, such as climate and water requirements, planting, fertilizers, irrigation, weeding and hoeing, and harvesting, processing, and pest and disease management. This book is intended for advanced graduate students and practitioners of agriculture and horticulture, and those who are involved in the production and promotion of plantation crops, spice plants, and essential oil and medicinal plants."

Fruit farming deals with the growing of fruit crops, including nuts, primarily for use as human food. The subject of fruit and nut production deals with intensive culture of perennial plants, the fruits of which have economic significance. Horticulture is a boon of nature which is refined by human skill as a science to obtain more and more benefits. It involves rigorous cropping expertise, including the improvement, production, distribution and use of vegetables, fruits, woody landscape and greenhouse plants. Horticulture is now one of the fastest growing industries with striking professional opportunities. An increasing proportion of the world¿s population is living in metropolitan environments where their understanding of farming, and therefore of food production, is becoming progressively more poor. This volume `Fruit Science¿ offers practical knowledge of the production of tree fruits and nuts, grapes, small fruits and vegetables, and other row crops, and forages. The concentration details factors influencing the growth, development, and productivity of these crops (e.g., site selection, cultivar selection, field and plant establishment, pest management, harvesting, and postharvest handling). The concentration also focuses on ongoing and newly emerging specialty industries and concerns such postharvest technology, plant breeding and biotechnology, integrated pest management, and precision agriculture. It also provides an overview of the health benefits associated with fruit consumption, including brief discussions of underlying protective mechanisms, identifies key scientific findings regarding the health benefits of fruit consumption. Also included in this volume are other essential features of fruit processing operations, such as: the food additives used, microbiology, quality assurance, packaging, grades and standards of fruits, and waste management.

"Horticultural crops such as fruits and vegetables are very important in human nutrition because when consumed in adequate amounts, they are an important source of vitamins, mineral nutrients and fiber. Processing of fruits and vegetables is very important to preserve quality. The magnitude of postharvest losses of fresh fruits and vegetables is estimated to be 5 to 25% in developed countries and 20 to 50% in developing countries depending upon commodity. In spite of having varied agro-climatic conditions, abundance of natural resources like sunlight and water, sufficient labor availability and abundant produce, our country is trailing behind in productivity, export and processing of horticultural produce as compared with other horticultural advanced countries. Further, due to lack of adequate post-harvest handling, processing and infrastructure facilities, post-harvest losses caused by spoilage are very high. It is estimated that post-harvest losses of horticultural produce range between 8-37 per cent. Generally losses occur during pre-harvesting, harvesting, transportation, storage, and processing, packing, marketing and distribution stages. When conditions are not suitable for storage or immediate marketing of fresh produce, many horticultural crops can be processed using simple technologies. There are some processing methods that can be used by small-scale handlers, including drying, fermenting, canning, freezing, preserving and juicing. Fruits, vegetables and flowers can all be dried and stored for use or sale in the future. Fruits and vegetables can be canned or frozen, and fruits are often preserved in sugar or juiced. The main objective of fruit and vegetable processing is to supply wholesome, safe, nutritious and acceptable food to consumers at affordable prices throughout the year. Successful fruit and vegetable processing enterprises require a lot of skill and provision of a consistently high quality product. Processors must therefore employ quality control measures to ensure uniformity and consistency in their products. The book covers the processing of a wide range of fruit, vegetable and root produce. These foods are the cornerstone of good health and contain many different vitamins and minerals. This book presents several pre- and postharvest strategies that have been developed to modify these physiological activities, resulting in increased shelf life. This will be of invaluable for students, professional horticulturalists and readers with interest in the subject. "
