Synopsis

This new book provides comprehensive coverage of the history, genetic improvements, production physiology of growth and cropping, orchard establishment and management, and harvest considerations for sustainable cherry production. Sweet cherries are a specialty crop, subject to significant production risks for growers, yet with high potential market returns due to strong consumer demand for the fruit's intensely enjoyable flavour and nutraceutical benefits. Written by a renowned team of experts, this book emphasises the scientific principles underlying cherry production practices. It acts as a resource for a scientific foundational understanding of plant growth and cropping, providing the key to both reasoned choice of orchard practices and the solution of future problems. The book: - Covers improved sweet cherry fruiting varieties and rootstocks. - Describes state-of-the-art tree training and production systems. - Considers production risk management technologies and decisions. Heavily illustrated and presented in full colour throughout, Sweet Cherries is written with practical details and underlying physiological concepts for use by beginning and established fruit growers, consultants, and advisors, with a primary focus on fresh market sweet cherries, in addition to students and professionals in horticulture.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Lynn Long is a Professor and an Extension Horticulturist, hired by Oregon State University in 1988 to deliver Extension programming to the cherry growers of north central Oregon, the largest cherry production region of the state. In that capacity, he delivered research based information and technology to the cherry growers of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. In 1999, he was promoted to the rank of full professor and developed an international reputation as one of the leading educators of cherry related knowledge around the world. He has given invited talks to scientists and cherry growers in 18 countries including Chile, Germany, Greece, South Africa, Australia and Russia. For much of his career, Lynn has focused his research and extension effort on evaluating new cherry varieties, rootstocks and training systems. While with Oregon State University, he established a variety trial in 1996 andhas evaluated well over 100 varieties and selections for their potential adoption by Pacific Northwest cherry growers. He has authored or co-authored numerous publications on these topics including an award-winning training system manual, and Extension publications on cherry rootstocks, and pruning trees on dwarfing and precocious rootstocks. However, as an Extension educator,Lynn has also conducted research and/or written publications on suchwide-ranging topics as cherry fruit fly, bacterial canker, orchard establishment and soil improvement. Gregory Lang has been a professor of tree fruit physiology at Michigan State University (MSU) and program leader for the stone fruit physiology laboratory since 2000. He was previously an associate professor and program leader for the sweet cherry physiology laboratory at Washington State University from 1994-2000 and anassistant/associate professor of pomology at Louisiana State University from1987-1994. He earned a B.S. degree in horticultural science from University ofGeorgia, and an M.S. in pomology and Ph.D. in plant physiology from University of California-Davis. His areas of expertise include tree fruit horticulture (development and management of sustainable orchard systems - pruning, training,growth regulation, and protective orchard covering systems, with particularemphasis on sweet cherry), tree fruit physiology (environmental stress,developmental and reproductive physiology, carbohydrate and nitrogenpartitioning and utilization), and Prunus germplasm improvement and evaluation.Dr. Lang has authored more than 185 research and industry articles related to fruit production, released or co-released five new sweet cherry varieties, andhas edited or co-edited several books and proceedings on cherry research. Underthe auspices of the International Society for Horticultural Science, he hasserved as the chair of international working groups on cherry production andorchard systems, and has provided numerous keynote addresses at scientific andgrower conferences around the world. He is the recipient of the American Society for Horticultural Science's Undergraduate Research award (1981),Graduate Educator Award (2010), and Extension Materials award (2017), as well as the International Fruit Tree Association's Distinguished Research award(2001). Clive Kaiser is Professor, tree fruits and extension specialist, covering temperate fruit,wine grape and vegetable research and extension in Umatilla County, easternOregon.
