A VERY GOOD, clean, tight copy. From the authors' Preface: "The present work attempts to focus attention on the conditions which make the fruit plant profitable; practices are considered only as they affect these condtions, not as ends in themselves. Maintenance of this point of view has necessitated a rather wide departure from conventional arrangement of subject matter. The common orchard practices are not sacred in themselves; indeed, they are important only in so far as they help vegetative growth and especially fruit production. " 686 pages. LG4.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Orcharding' is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the science and practice of fruit production. Written by Victor Ray Gardner, a noted expert in the field, this work serves as an essential manual for both commercial growers and students of pomology. The book provides in-depth analysis of the various factors that contribute to successful fruit cultivation, ranging from site selection and soil preparation to the intricacies of tree physiology and development.The text explores critical topics such as pruning, fertilization, irrigation, and the management of pests and diseases that threaten orchard productivity. Beyond the technical aspects of cultivation, 'Orcharding' also addresses the economic and business considerations of the industry, including harvesting, packing, and marketing strategies. By synthesizing scientific research with practical experience, Gardner offers a structured approach to improving yield and fruit quality.As a foundational text in early twentieth-century agriculture, 'Orcharding' remains a valuable resource for understanding the historical development of horticultural practices. Its clear explanations and systematic organization make it an enduring reference for anyone interested in the art and science of growing fruit trees and managing successful orchards.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the essential factors that contribute to productive fruit growing. The author explores the plant's relationship to its environment, with a focus on the availability of water. The multifaceted concept of water use in plants is explored in depth, from absorption and transport to the final stages of evaporation and transpiration. The author provides practical recommendations for water management, grounded in current plant physiology and chemistry, and includes illustrative data to support the principles presented. The book also discusses broader issues such as the influence of soil type and weather conditions, and the impact of water stress on plant growth and fruit quality. By understanding the principles of water relations in fruit plants, readers can optimize their cultivation practices to maximize yields and ensure the long-term health of their orchards. This book is a valuable resource for fruit growers, students, and anyone interested in the science and practice of fruit production. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
