Sommario/riassunto

In common with other books in this series, this volume describes the scientific principles of the biology and production of a particular horticultural crop. This volume considers tomatoes, one of the most important internationally grown and traded of such crops. All aspects, from taxonomy and genetics, to growing in field and protected environments and to postharvest handling and processing, are covered. The book fills a major gap in the literature and will be essential for students, professional growers and processors.
