      CROP PRODUCTION SCIENCE IN HORTICULTURE SERIES

      This series examines economically important horticultural crops selected from the major production systems in temperate, subtropical and tropical climatic areas. Systems represented range from open field and plantation sites to protected plastic and glass houses, growing rooms and laboratories. Emphasis is placed on the scientific principles underlying crop production practices rather than on providing empirical recipes for uncritical acceptance. Scientific understanding provides the key to both reasoned choice of practice and the solution of future problems.

      Students and staff at universities and colleges throughout the world involved in courses in horticulture, as well as in agriculture, plant science, food science and applied biology at degree, diploma or certificate level will welcome this series as a succinct and readable source of information. The books will also be invaluable to progressive growers, advisers and end-product users requiring an authoritative, but brief, scientific introduction to particular crops or systems. Keen gardeners wishing to understand the scientific basis of recommended practices will also find the series very useful.

      The authors are all internationally renowned experts with extensive experience of their subjects. Each volume follows a common format covering all aspects of production, from background physiology and breeding, to propagation and planting, through husbandry and crop protection, to harvesting, handling and storage. Selective references are included to direct the reader to further information on specific topics.

      This book is dedicated to Chad E. Finn, who died tragically in his prime this year. Chad was a great friend to us all and was beloved for his wit, booming laugh and willingness to research on all things small fruit. He was a dream collaborator, who repeatedly came up with insightful ideas, made everyone feel at ease and exuded great fun. Chad was an awesome plant breeder and led the most diverse berry breeding programme in the world. He created several varieties that became industry standards. Chad was the heart and soul of the global small fruit industry and will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
