The present book comprises 19 chapters, each authored by distinguished scientists in the relevant field. The need to overcome yield limitations through genetically modified (GM) technology while ensuring biosafety and adhering to established standards is emphasized. Two chapters specifically address the use of biotechnology to enhance agricultural productivity. The holistic study of water, a crucial but limiting factor, is also covered in the book.



Soil fertility and its effective management are vital for crop productivity. The book emphasizes the importance of viewing soil as a living entity and its role as the foundation of horticulture. Root stocks play a crucial role in rejuvenating, anchoring, and promoting better nutrient absorption in plants. Breeding methods are now available to develop crop varieties and hybrids that can withstand both biotic and abiotic stresses, including those caused by nematode pests and a range of viruses.



To fully comprehend the source-sink ratios in crops and the physiological processes involved, an understanding of basic sciences like plant physiology is essential. In addition, the book also covers the less commonly taught areas of marketing and trade, which are assuming increasing importance. Finally, the study of pollinators such as bees is considered essential to the field of horticulture.
