About The Book
Vegetables from an important part of our diet. The quality of Vegetables that we consume is influenced by deficiency or excess of mineral elements, hormonal imbalance, improper pollination or fertilization, injuries due to adverse climate and growing conditions and some physiological factors. This book provides scientific knowledge on the role of both major and minor nutrients, adverse climatic and other related factors in the growth and development of physiological disorders of vegetable crops, making them unfit for human consumption An attempt has been made in this book to give as much information as possible regarding causes, symptoms and the role of elements and temperature associated in the development of the avoidable disorders.
