Pteridophytes comprise vascular plants which do not produce flowers but reproduce by spores. They are commonly placed along with Bryophytes and Gymnosperms under Archegoniates - a group of plants bearing archegonia as female sex organ. The book is provided with clear and well labelled diagrams at appropriate places in the text, making comprehension of the topic easy. The colour plates added at the end of the book would be of great help in perception of the architecture and organization of plants. Such photographs would help generate interest in practical classes related to the topics. A detailed glossary and questions based on the chapters would help students build up the concepts for entrance examinations. In addition, links to videos have been provided which would assist online teaching-learning. This book is designed to fulfill the needs of undergraduate and postgraduate students of Botany.

The book covers potato scenario, germplasm strength, varietal development applying conventional and molecular breeding methods, AICRP (potato), tissue culture, biotechnology, genomics, genome editing, diagnostics of potato pathogens and insect-pest management, integrated crop management, soil and plant sample test, impact of climate change, precision agriculture, conventional and hi-tech seed potato production including micropropagation and aeroponics, post-harvest management and potato nutrition, farm mechanization and various other topics related to potato. We hope this book will be beneficial for potato stakeholders, researchers, and farming community.

A book which deals with 36 individual cut flower crops (Achillea, Alstroemeria, Amaryllis & Hippeastrum, Anemone, Anthurium, Antirrhinum, Callistephus chinensis, Campanula, Centaurea, Dahlia, Delphinium, Dendranthema, Dianthus caryophyllus, Digitalis, Eustoma, Gaillardia, Gerbera, Gladiolus, Gypsophila, Helianthus, Heliconia, Iberis, Lilium, Limonium, Matthiola, Narcissus, Orchids, Polianthes tuberosa, Rosa, Salpiglossis, Scabiosa, Solidago, Strelitzia, Tulipa, Zantedeschia and Zinnia), and two separate groups of plants which are either axillary to cut flowers or have included many other individuals to be used as cut flowers, i.e. "Cut Foliage/Cut Greens and Other Fillers" and "Proteaceous Ornamentals". Individual crops have covered almost all the aspects, viz. Introduction, Origin, Uses, Botany, Classification Species and Varieties, Propagation, Cultural Practices soils and bed preparation, planting (season of planting, plant density), irrigation, manuring and fertilization, weeding and where required other practices such as pot cultivation and glasshouse cultivation, growth and development, insects-pests diseases and physiological disorders, postharvest and related references. Apart from the crops, the book is also supported with a comprensive Glossary and Index in the end. In floriculture, no book can cover all the crops entirely under a particular topic due to the crops being innumerable and also as many new crops are being brought out every year but efforts have here been made to cover all the important ones looking into the past publications on the topic, the world scenario, the crop importance, the curriculum of M.Sc. and Ph.D. students worldwide, and as a guide to floricultural scientists & professors. Looking into its coverage and application, this book will work as a most remarkable guide to commercial and enthusiastic growers of cut flower crops worldwide.

This book is the result of serious efforts put forwarded by authors which encompasses various concepts of Plant Bacteriology from basics to advanced level with updated information.

This can also be very helpful to the farmers who are familiar with English because it contains a detailed description of diseases and their management.

This book deals with 43 chapters. Part I deals with 29 most commonly cultivated ornamental crops such as Amaranthus, Annual Chrysanthemum, Asclepias & Calotropis, Barlelia, Celosia argentea, Crossandra, Dahlia, Dianthus, Eranthemum, Ervatamia divaricata, Gaillardia, Gomphrena, Helianthus, Hibiscus, Hymenocallis, Ixora, Jasminum, Lawsonia inermis, Nelumbo, Nerium, Nyctanthes arbortristis, Nymphaea, Paeonia, Pandanus, Polianathes tuberosa, Rosa, Rudbeckia, Tagetes and Thevetia. Each crop is described with its nomenclature, origin, brief history & importance; botany; classification, species and varieties; methods of propagation; cultural practices; manipulation of growth and flowering; postharvest management; and insect-pests, diseases & physiological disorders in a very lucid term. Part II contains 14 chapters on general aspects necessary either for flower growing cum improvement or for value addition cum processing of certain plant-based products. Each crop and aspect is supported with pertinent global works. This is the first book of its kind written worldwide which deals exclusively with Traditional and Loose Flowers as is most prevalent in the Asian countries. However, in western countries though they prioritize the cut flower crops but for garden decoration, bedding, borders, container planting, hedges, rock gardens and pools, and for greenhouse & conservatory plantings they depend largely on such plants. Moreover, ICAR (New Delhi) has also devised curricula for graduate and postgraduate students of floriculture & landscaping, that is why this book has been prepared to act as a ready reckoner not only to the students but also to the teachers, professors and scientists engaged in floricultural activities. This will also prove a comprehensive guide to the horticultural development officers and flower growers worldwide.

This book emphasizes the importance of spice crops and provides detailed improved technologies for ginger and turmeric production to boost productivity for Mizoram. It also highlights major constraints in major spice production including diseases and pests and their necessary solutions including integrated management practices which will minimise risks to human health, animals, plants, and the environment while ensuring stable crop production and keeping pathogen/pest damage below the threshold level. It also sums up the local germplasm collection for ginger and turmeric of Mizoram and the cultivation technology described in this book will aid farmers in cultivating these crops properly. This book also specifies the progress of spice research and technology developed so far under ICAR-AICRP on Spices (Mizoram Centre) and the prospects of major spice cultivation. This book is intended to assist horticultural professionals and researchers in their area of work, as well as farmers to improve their ginger and turmeric production and its processing options and also expand their production of local ginger and turmeric germplasm.
