Post-Harvest Physiology and Crop Preservation by Harold W. Woolhouse (auth.), Morris Lieberman (eds.)

By Harold W. Woolhouse (auth.), Morris Lieberman (eds.)

Emphasis in agricultural study for a few years has concen­ trated on crop construction. This emphasis has develop into extra vital in recent times with the conclusion that the inhabitants around the world is outstripping the foodstuff offer. there's, notwithstanding, one other facet to expanding the supply of the meals provide. This easily comprises upkeep of the harvested crop·for human intake. The losses incurred in harvesting, dealing with, transportation, garage and advertising vegetation became a better challenge because the distance from the farm to the last word buyer raises. within the Western international the place sleek transportation, garage amenities, and advertising expertise are regularly occurring, post-harvest expertise calls for a wide enter of power which raises bills significantly. There­ fore, losses are extra major and the power to supply clean vegatables and fruits, out of season, at moderate expenditures is determined by diminished post-harvest losses through the advertising chain from the farm gate to the final word purchaser. The aid in post-harvest losses depends upon right use of present know-how and extra advancements derived from a wide spectrum of clinical disciplines. Biochemistry, plant body structure, plant pathology, horticulture, agronomy, physics, engineering and agricultural economics, all supply wisdom which has been valuable and should be helpful sooner or later for making improvements to post-harvest technol­ ogy and crop protection. This quantity documents the court cases of the NATO complex research Institute on Post-Harvest body structure and Crop maintenance, held at Sounion, Greece, April 28 - may well eight, 1981.
