Depicted with diagrams, schematic representations, and pictures. The extent of the book is split into 2 units namely Production Technology of Vegetables and Production Technology of Flower Crops and Landscape Gardening. In addition, this book has a distinct feature that each unit has a separate section for facts and figures which will be a ready reckoner for all competitive exams. In Unit VI and VII, a compilation on the common name, scientific name, family, chromosome number, origin, inflorescence and fruit types and an abstract of production technology are given.
