Specific emphasis has been placed long back through the education on vegetable science with the publication of the text-cum reference book in a single volume "Vegetable Crops in India" as early as 1986. Keeping the demand and interest of the stakeholders in view, this book was revised further in 1993 and 2003 under three volumes in the name "Vegetable Crops". Wide array of modern research approaches on vegetable crops in India and abroad during last two decades warrants further revision of the book in fourth edition in four volumes. In this fourth edition, every aspect of production, protection, breeding and biotechnology of more than 50 major and minor vegetable crops (Volume 1: Leguminous vegetables and root crops; Volume 2: Cole crops, okra and tropical tuber crops; Volume 3: Solanaceous fruit vegetables, salad crops and leafy greens and Volume 4: Cucurbits, bulb crops and perennial vegetable crops) were dealt with by renowned academicians and scientists in the country. This book, structured with thousands of references and colour photographs stands as unique of its own. Students, researchers, vegetable specialists, horticulturists, agricultural research scientists and extension personnel across the world will find this book very informative as well as practical.
