| Tóm tắt: | Information on the biology, production and utilization of avocado has been readily accessible
for over 100 years in the form of articles in scientific and popular journals, advisory pam-
phlets, bulletins, reports and booklets. These publications generally address aspects of crop
botany, orchard management, and postharvest handling, and are usually specific to particular
regions or countries. The need for a detailed, comprehensive scientific text, international in
scope and summarizing our current knowledge of this fruit crop, was finally satisfied by the
appearance of the first edition of this book in 2002, edited by A.W. Whiley, B. Schaffer and
B.N. Wolstenholme.
Global sharing of information on avocado was advanced by the First World Avocado Congress
held in Pretoria, South Africa in 1987. This has been followed by regular congresses every 4 years
in cities in different avocado-producing countries, including Orange, California, USA (1991); Tel
Aviv, Israel (1995); Uruapan, Mexico (1999); Malaga, Spain (2003); Viña del Mar, Chile (2007);
and most recently Cairns, Australia (2011), with the 8th Congress to be held in Peru in 2015.
Proceedings of these congresses provide a rich source of scientific and marketing literature.
Producers, scientists researching avocado, academics and extension advisers, marketers and serv-
ice industry personnel have a regular opportunity to network and discuss major problems limiting
production and marketing. A remarkable collegiality has developed over the years, which has
encouraged the sharing of information, and considerable international cooperation in research
and marketing. The Hofshi Foundation provides the Internet website Avocadosource.com, regu-
larly updated in all matters relating to avocado literature, personalities and developments. The
regular world avocado congresses, plus several annual or biennial national avocado congresses,
research symposia, etc. in various avocado-producing countries have provided much of the sci-
entific literature summarized in this book. They also helped bridge the divide between English-
and Spanish-speaking countries, the latter providing most of the commercial crop and undergoing
the most rapid growth. |
