Achieving Sustainable Cultivation of Mangoes is a comprehensive reference work that explores the latest advances in the sustainable cultivation of mangoes, one of the world’s most important tropical fruit crops. Bringing together international expertise, the book covers key topics including tree physiology, flowering and fruit development, breeding innovations, cultivation practices, post-harvest management, and disease and pest control.

Across 570 pages, the publication examines the entire mango value chain, from the development of improved cultivars and sustainable production techniques to maintaining fruit quality after harvest. Designed for researchers, agronomists, and professionals in the agricultural sector, this volume provides an up-to-date and integrated perspective on improving mango productivity, quality, and sustainability.
