The production of vegetables and fruits for human consumption is known as vegetables and fruits farming. The most common types of farmed vegetables are fabaceae, solanaceae, allium, carrots and lettuce. Vegetables are grown for three major reasons- to produce vegetables for fresh market, for preserving them, and for seeds. Some of the techniques which are used for the farming of fruits and vegetables are organic farming, raised bed farming, vertical farming and hydroponic farming. There has been a steady increase in the yield of fruit crops in the past few decades. This has been made possible due to improvements in technology and consolidation of fruit industries in the most favorable climates. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of vegetable and fruit farming. It elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary approach. The book will serve as a valuable source of reference for those interested in this field.
