| Streszczenie: | The monoaxial banana, pineapple and papaya and polyaxial mango are
the most well-known tropical fruits worldwide. Avocado is better known for
production in subtropical areas, but considerably more production occurs in
the tropical zone. Banana, pineapple and avocado are extensively grown by
large companies. Banana, along with plantain, is the largest fruit crop in the
tropics, with only a small fraction entering international commerce. Many
other tropical fruits, already well known in the tropics, are now appearing in
larger temperate city markets.
The fi rst edition of this book was started by Dr Henry Nakasone after he
retired from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 1981. His work on the book
was prolonged because of his extensive volunteer and consulting activities
from his retirement to 6 months before his death in 1995. The extensive
research carried out by Henry in preparing some draft chapters laid the
foundation for the 1998 fi rst edition. Henry understood the need for a book
that melded equally the genetics, physiology and cultural practices with
postharvest handling of each fruit crop as an interrelated whole. |
