Vegetable production is a vital component of agriculture, and significant progress has been made in this area since independence, with an initial yield of just 5.8 tons per hectare. However, the increasing demand from growing populations necessitates further increases in vegetable productivity.
The constraints of shrinking land and water resources, coupled with the threat of climate change, require effective human and financial resources to support the development of technologies. The development of vegetable hybrids with genes for increased yield and resistance to biotic/abiotic stress, the production and protection of crops in problematic soils with reduced water and nutrient use, and safe pest and disease management, as well as the reduction of post-harvest losses and value-added processing are all important priorities.
The bookVegetable Science: Objective Type provides a comprehensive overview of vegetable crops, covering topics such as production, breeding, and biotechnology, as well as statistics, biometrics, and the application of computer technology. The book also includes a special chapter on General Agriculture, providing readers with up-to-date information on agricultural practices.
Vegetable is considered to be one of the most important commodities in agriculture and an impressive growth has been recorded in vegetable production since independence, which was merely 5.8 tonnes per hectare. However, there is need of to increase the vegetable productivity to meet the increasing demand of the growing populations. Challenges of shrinking land and water resources with a threat of climate change need an effective support in term of human resources vis-a-vis financial support for the development of technologies. Development of vegetable hybrids embedded with gene for higher yield and resistance to biotic/ abiotic stresses; production and protection technologies for mitigating the problematic soil, use of less water and nutrient and safe management of pests and diseases, reduction in post -harvest losses and value addition are need of the hour. Updated information’s on Vegetable Science is interest for teachers, researchers and scholars.

A Abiotic stress: Adverse conditions for crop growth and production caused by environment factor such as deficiency or excess of nutrition, moisture, temperature and light, the presence of harmful gases or toxicants, and abnormal soil condition such as salinity, alkanety and acidity. Abnormal seedling: Seedling which are unable to develop in to normal plants. Acclimatization: The process of introduced plants to adapt or adjust to the new or changed environment. Acentric chromosomes: A chromosomes without centromere. A-chromosomes: Normal member of chromosomes complements of a species which are essential for normal growth and development. Acicular: Long, narrow and cylindrical; i.e., needle-shaped as the leaves of onion, etc. Acid foods: Foods having pH 4.5 to 3.7 which are usually spoiled by non-spore forming aciduric, butyric anaerobes, etc. e.g., products of tomato, etc. Acrocentric chromosomes: A chromosomes in which centromere is located very near to one end or has sub terminal position. Active collection: Germplasm which is meant for medium term storage (10 to 15years). Such collection is subjected to regeneration, multiplication, evaluation, distribution and documentation after every 10 to15 years.
