Synopsis The first edition of the book entitled ‘Vegetable Crops in India’ published in 1986 was revised in 1993 with the title ‘Vegetable Crops’. Both the previous editions were considered as outstanding publication on the subject and proved valuable to the students, teachers, researchers and extension specialists in horticulture in general and olericulture in particular, in different parts of the world. During the period after the book was revised in 1993, enormous work has been reported on all important vegetable crops and it was considered necessary to publish the present revised edition in two volumes. Chapters on solanaceous vegetables (tomato, capsicum and chilli and brinjal), cole crops and cucurbits have been included in volume one in about 700 pages. Volume two consists of chapters on root crops, bulb crops, pea and beans, salad crops, leafy vegetables, okra and perennial vegetables.
