Mango: Botany, Production and Uses

The mango is one of the oldest cultivated fruit crops, having been grown in India for at least 4000 years. Mango is the most important fruit crop of Asia and its annual production is exceeded worldwide only by Musa and citrus fruit, and grapes and apples. The last decade has seen a rapid growth in mango production, mainly due to expansion into new growing regions but also due to the adoption of modern field practices and cultivars. A wide range of fresh mango cultivars is now consumed worldwide and is available year round.

The mango: Botany, Production and Uses, published in 1997, represented the first comprehensive examination of all aspects of modern mango production and research. Developing upon the successful first edition, this book highlights significant advances in mango research that have contributed to improved production, and will be highly relevant for researchers and growers alike.
