This book gives complete information on the pomegranate crop. The book has 21 chapters covering all aspects from origin of the crop to its breeding, cultivation, and management of water, weeds, pests, diseases, and nutrients, as well as its uses, processing, and marketing. The book is aimed at horticulture students, farmers, and the general public who want to learn about the crop. For students of agriculture, horticulture, and botany, the book gives complete information on the origin of the crop, its botany, environmental requirements, agronomy and varietal improvement, processing, and marketing. For farmers, the book gives elaborate information on the agronomy of pomegranate, nutrient management, pest and disease management, post-harvest management, and marketing of the fruits. For general readers, the book gives comprehensive information on the origin of this healthy fruit, its health benefits, its utility in the food processing industry, the ayurvedic, cosmetic, essence, and perfume industries, the tanning industry, and many more. The book also describes the pomegranate's role in art and culture, its uses in human health, and its nutrition, apart from its description and management. This book fills the gap that, despite the popularity of the pomegranate and its commercial value, there was no comprehensive textbook available for university students, farmers, and the general public to know about the crop.
