Dwarf Horticultural Plants

Dwarf plants are small-scale varieties of regular or full-size plants that may grow to be large. Dwarf and semi-dwarf horticultural plants have unique advantages in production over standard varieties. They are easily harvested, take up less room than full-size plants, reach maturity early, and have high productivity. This book discusses fundamental topics that cover biology, economics, physiology, and social significance of development and employment of dwarf horticultural crops around the world. It presents topics that apply to specific fruits, vegetables, herbs, ornamental crops, and plantation crops.
