| Summary |
Summarizes our knowledge of peaches and their production worldwide and includes a colour plates section. This book includes chapters which address botany and taxonomy, breeding and genetics of cultivars and rootstocks, propagation, physiology and planting systems, crop and pest management and postharvest physiology |
|
This book summarizes current state of knowledge in peach botany, production and postharvest management |
|
