It was in 1992 I found this book in the library. I know growers also widely use this books as their handbook, but as a student I really found this book is very useful. It provided me lots of practical aspects of the way conducting vegetable production. In addition , it also gave me better understanding of how vegetables should be properly managed to get maximum yields. Now, I still consider this book as a five star category. A book where I find many practical aspects meet the scientific perspectives. I strongly encourage students and growers to use this books.
