This comprehensive volume brings together cutting-edge research and advancements in the field of horticultural sciences, with a particular focus on vegetable and fruit crop breeding, sustainable crop production, protected cultivation, post-harvest management, and technological innovations. The book serves as a vital resource for students, researchers, academicians, horticulturists, policy makers, and agribusiness professionals striving to enhance productivity, sustainability, and profitability in the horticulture sector. Divided into thematic sections, the book begins with a focus on demand-led breeding strategies, genomic tools, genome editing (CRISPR/Cas), and biotechnological applications in vegetable and perennial fruit crops. It addresses the critical role of genetic resource management and DUS testing in varietal distinction and conservation efforts. The next section explores advanced crop production technologies, such as high-density planting, precision farming, natural greenhouses, and pollination management. It highlights modern tools like ICT, sensing technologies, automation, artificial intelligence, and telemetry for climate and soil monitoringpaving the way for smart horticulture practices. Special attention is given to post-harvest innovation, processing potential, disease and pest management, and the challenges and opportunities in underutilized crops and arid ecosystems. The book also discusses social and economic aspects such as urban horticulture, FPOs in coconut farming, and agrivoltaics, linking modern horticulture to livelihoods, climate resilience, and nutritional security. By featuring over 30 expert contributions from across India and abroad, this book offers a multidimensional perspective on future-ready horticultureintegrating science, sustainability, and entrepreneurship.
