| Abstract
|
:
|
This is a timely new edition of The Mango, first published in 1997. The last decade has seen a rapid growth of mango production mainly due to expansion into new growing regions, but also due to the adoption of modern field practices including irrigation management and pest control. Fresh Mangoes are now consumed worldwide and are available all year round. The Mango provides a comprehensive overview of all aspects of mango research from the basics to their applications and will be highly relevant for researchers and growers alike.
