Seed storage of horticultural crops

---

Seed is a basic input in horticulture. Different horticultural crops are valued
for their delicious fruits, enriched with vitamins and minerals, and appreciated
for their ornamental qualities. Seeds are sown in many vegetable
crops, a few fruit crops, and ornamental crops. However, they are predominantly
used in raising rootstocks for vegetative propagation in different perennial
fruit crops. Use of high-quality seeds in terms of viability and vigor
imparts higher yield and better-quality produce. Also, seeds contribute to
highly valued genetic material needed for crop improvement, production,
and conservation. At present, seeds are the only viable medium that is comparatively
stable during long-term conservation. Seeds are normally stored
for short periods, such as until the next growing season, but in special circumstances,
such as genetic conservation, they are stored for longer periods.
Improper seed storage reduces seed viability and causes great losses
within the farming community.

Farmers, nurserymen, and breeders face many hardships in maintaining
high seed quality during storage. My two-decades-long association with
seed storage in horticultural crops helped produce this volume, which gathers
together the scattered information on seed storage behavior and means
of storage for various fruits, vegetables, and ornamental crops of tropical,
subtropical, and temperate regions.

The book will be useful for graduate and postgraduate students and
teachers of horticulture, seed science and technology, and plant genetic resources
faculties. It also imparts valuable scientific information to researchers
and the seed industry on the preservation of valuable planting material.
