Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The productivity of many tropical orchards is declining due to deterioration in soil health. Continuous soil disturbance, monocropping and intensive tillage cause degradation in both soil structure and biodiversity. Soil health is essential in optimizing yield and promoting long-term sustainability. This book provides a research-based, systems-level framework for restoring and managing soil health in tropical and subtropical fruit production. It synthesizes advances in soil science, plant nutrition, rhizosphere biology and climate-smart horticulture to address widespread degradation and productivity decline in perennial orchards. Offering diagnostic tools, evidence-based practices and region-specific solutions, it serves as both a reference and practical guide. The work is intended for researchers, graduate students, extension personnel and practitioners seeking scientifically grounded strategies for sustainable fruit production.
