Book Description
Offering detailed information on the production of 162 flower, herb, and vegetable crops, this essential resource for growers includes techniques and advice that work in real-life production, not just in the lab or trial greenhouses. Information is offered on how to decide what to grow, as well as tips on temperature, media, plant nutrition, irrigation, water quality, light, crop scheduling, and growth regulators. Details about propagation, growing, pest and disease control, troubleshooting, and postharvest care are presented and arranged by genus name. The plants represented in this compendium include annuals, perennials, flowering potted plants, herbs, and some vegetable bedding plants.

This review is from: Ball RedBook: Crop Production (Hardcover)
Purchased this book for a Greenhouse management class. My instructor refers to it as "our bible". Have used this book so far for three crop assignments. The contents are easy to read, go into detail and is written in a way that the novice can understand. Gives you all the facts you need if you were to produce this crop and do it successfully. This is a great bargain compared to prices at the University Bookstore. Also, you should be able to make use of this for at least another 8-10 years (according to my instructor) before it is revised so that definitely is a good investment.
