Country of Origin: India

Vegetable production in our country is still dominated by locally available genotypes or open-pollinated varieties, which are low-yielding and susceptible to various insect pests and diseases. This is largely due to farmers lack of knowledge and poor extension services. Therefore, there is a need to cultivate vegetable hybrids to increase production, productivity, and quality. The development of hybrids from existing varieties plays a crucial role not only in increasing productivity but also in combating several problems faced by farmers. To achieve these objectives, the authors have made an effort to provide information on the development of vegetable hybrids, both theoretically and practically, in the form of a book entitled Heterosis Breeding in Vegetable Crops. This publication contains 17 chapters in two sections. 
Section I. Principles of Heterosis: 01. Introduction of Heterosis 02. Basis of Heterosis 03. Manifestation of Heterosis 04. Reproduction, Pollen and Pollen Biotechnology 05. Population Improvement of Parents/Hybrid Varieties 06. Hybrid Varieties Testing and Release Procedures in India 07. Genetic Purity Testing of Hybrids 08. Biotechnology and Vegetable Improvement 09. Intellectual Property Rights Related Issues in Hybrid Technology 10. Economics, Import and Export Section II. Techniques for Hybrid Seed Production: 11. Solanaceous Crops 12. Malvaceous Crops 13. Cole Crops 14. Cucurbitaceous Crops 15. Root Crops 16. Bulb Crops 17. Hints for Cultivation
