Editorial Reviews
Review
"…A few other books can be compared to Desai's Seeds Handbook, but none seems to provide broad information about seed science and technology. …Considering its wide coverage, this book will be helpful to seed breeders and seed farmers. …a good reference resource for agriculture students in general, and for seed technology scholars in particular. …a useful addition for academic and public libraries." - E-Streams, Vol. 7, No. 12, December 2004 "…recommended….offers…useful information…to practical questions within the broad area of seeds in a compact form." Journal of Plant Physiology

Book Description
This expanded second edition of the Seeds Handbook has been revised and updated to include the latest advances in seed science and technology, discussing - for the first time in a book of this kind - novel practical methods for the production of seeds of over 80 agronomic and horticultural crops, production of synthetic seeds, mass multiplication of disease-free crop plants through newer biotechnologies such as micropropagation, genetically modified (GM) or transgenic seeds, and future challenges and research needs for the world food security. Furnishing both theoretical perspectives and hands-on methods for real-world applications, the handbook updates all areas of seed biology, production, and processing.
