This is an excellent compendium that presents
the state of the art of peach culture technology.
It offers a wide range of updated information
that permits the integration of knowledge
and the understanding of a modern industrial
peach orchard to growers, technicians, and
pomologists. The work consists of 11 chapters
developed by 20 Italian authors known world
wide by their expertise in each of the subjects
treated. It is well conceived and well edited.
Each chapter includes a number of excellent
color plates. Edagricole continues with a long
tradition of providing topical books for horticulturists
and this volume is an excellent addition
to this collection. Even though written in
Italian, the book is easy to read for those who
speak Romance languages, yet not fluent in the
language of Dante Alighieri
