      abstract = {This book focuses on the production technology of  temperate nuts. It explores cultivar and plant improvement,  development and selection of rootstocks, plantwater  relations and irrigation, canopy architecture, and  postharvest packaging of nut fruits. It also deals with  organic approaches, biotechnological interventions,  diseases, and pest management. Contributing authors address  nut fruits such as walnut, pecan nut, chestnut, and hazel  nut on different recent aspects. The development achieved  in the fruit sector is indicative of the fact that there is  growing demand of fruit produce. Temperate nuts with health  benefits and market acceptability have best sources of fat,  fiber, protein, and mineral. They provide dietary fiber,  potassium, and a variety of health-protective bioactive  compounds. Apart from the health benefits, production of  temperate nuts improves the economy of the country as these  are very good source of income and employment. In addition,  there is wide diversification in the production pattern of  nuts globally. Increased production technology such as  hybrids, high-yielding selections/ varieties, improved  propagation techniques, and increased use of fertilizers  and manures have brought spectacular increase in the  production of nut fruits. This book is of interest to  teachers, scientists, researchers, and scholars. Also, the  book serves as additional reading material for  undergraduate and postgraduate students of agriculture and  horticulture. Horticulture nurseries and orchard industries  also find this to be a useful read.},
