Описание: Plant Genetic Resources Conservation and Management provides, in-depth description of principles and practices of the techniques of both ex situ conservation strategy (seed and field genebanks, in vitro, DNA and pollen storage), and in situ conservation strategy (on-farm and nature reserves) for plant genetic resources (PGR), and current status of their applications. The book covers all aspects of plant germplasm conservation and management including plant domestication and crop evolution, history of conservation, exploration, exchange, quarantine, conservation techniques, characterization and evaluation, information management, intellectual property rights and conservation under climate change. In the area of management of plant germplasm, the book has focused on topics such as sampling techniques during collecting, strategies for enhancing exchange, biosafety and regulation of genetically modified (GM) crops, role of evaluation, core collection and pre-breeding in germplasm utilization. Additionally, it focuses on intellectual property rights (IPRs) and various international treaties on plant germplasm which have made access to genetic resources, a debated topic. It also includes the challenges of conservation in the event of climate change and their potential solutions. The content of the book provides comprehensive knowledge about plant germplasm conservation and management to help understand the basic principles, practices and future challenges involved. With its coverage and specific focused topics, it will be useful to researchers, conservationists, teachers, as well as students who are involved or interested in PGR conservation and management.

Описание: As orchards are faced with different challenges such as production and the growing global population, there is a need to update and understand the principles and practices for successful orchard management to increase food productivity. The economics of cultivation, irrigated agriculture, and smart agriculture are important topics in precision agriculture that relate to these various challenges and must be studied further. Additionally, technologies have played a key role in promoting the development of orchards and new strategies have led to substantial improvements in fruit productivity and quality. These strategies and technologies must also be considered in order to ensure a successful future for orchard management.

Principles, Practices, and Future Outlooks for Orchards Management aims to improve fruit orchards' productivity by exploring the latest practical research findings in the area and considers the new techniques in various agricultural management practices to improve the growth and productivity of fruit orchards under different biotic and abiotic stresses. Covering topics such as nutrient management, pest control, orchard pruning, and magnetic water, this reference work is ideal for industry professionals, researchers, practitioners, scholars, academicians, instructors, and students.

Описание: Food product traceability became rather suddenly a food industry concern after the turn of the millennium. New laws in developed countries enforcing food product traceability demanded that the food industry follow up with developing information systems that supported this requirement. This was at the time a significant and new organisational and technical challenge for the food industry. Gradually more and more food suppliers are establishing food traceability also because customers require this information. The book illustrates how this is understood conceptually and may be achieved in business practice. The book is mainly written to argue for this alternative managerial view of food product traceability which is aimed at being complementary to the currently dominant technical view. It provides a perspective that enriches the dominant IT-base view by taking into consideration the main purpose of food supply which is to achieve satisfied customers. Technology is the helper. The taken approach of the book is founded on literature in the fields of operations management, logistics, supply chain management, industrial marketing and to a limited degree information technology. This reflects that competence in food product traceability is cross functional. The book has an academic profile and a sufficient number of references are provided mainly to permit the reader to investigate on their own specificities related to the arguments brought forward through the books text. The book is written both for specialised professionals as well as researchers. The book may be used as a foundation and inspiration in developing research and development projects at different levels including students at a post-graduate level and more advanced. The book also contains two detailed case descriptions of end-to-end food product supply including analysis of this supply based on the framework developed through the book. This provides students and researchers with illustrations as to how a case study on food product traceability may be constructed. The illustrations also aim to anchor the preceding text in business practice.
