The Pomegranate Botany, Production and Uses

Presenting a review of pomegranate growing, from a scientific and horticultural perspective, this book provides information on how to increase yields and improve short- and medium-term grower profitability and sustainability. It covers:
practices to mitigate pests, diseases and abiotic stresses;
yield-based nutrition management;
cultural practices for cultivars with horticultural traits such as earliness, high yield, improved taste, soft seeds, disease resistance, and low splitting and sunscald rates;
increasing crop diversity to aid crop security; and
composition, food uses and medicinal uses.
This book is essential literature for researchers in horticulture, for growers and for those involved in the pomegranate industry.
