description: The mango is one of the oldest cultivated fruit crops, having been grown in India for at least 4000 years. Mango is the most important fruit crop of Asia and its annual production is exceeded worldwide only by Musa, citrus, grapes and apples. During the last decade there has been a huge increase in mango production as markets have been developed in Europe and North America. There is now substantial mango production in central and South America, as well as an expanding industry in regions such as northern Australia, South Africa, Israel and southern USA.There has been no comprehensive scientific book on all aspects of mango, considered on a worldwide basis, for more than 30 years. This book aims to fill this gap, addressing all issues related to mango biology, production and utilization. Written by leading research workers from the USA, India, Pakistan, Australia, South Africa, Mexico, UK, France and Israel, it represents a standard, definitive work on the subject.
