Methods of strawberry cultivation have undergone extensive modifications and this book provides an up-to-date, broad and balanced review of current research and emerging challenges. It includes coverage from plant propagation, architecture, genetic resources, breeding, abiotic stresses and climate change, to evolving diseases and their control. It is written by an international team of specialists, using figures and tables to make the subject comprehensible and informative. It is an essential resource for academics and industry workers involved in strawberry research and development, and all those interested in the commercial cultivation of strawberries.
