Vegetable is considered one of the most important commodities in agriculture and an impressive growth has been recorded in vegetable production since independence, which was merely  5.8 tons per hectare. However, there is need of to increase the vegetable productivity to meet the increasing demand of the growing populations. Challenges of shrinking land and water resources with a threat of climate change need an effective support in term of human resources vis-a-vis financial support for the development of technologies. Development of vegetables/ hybrids embedded with gene for higher yield and resistance to biotic/ abiotic stresses; production and protection technologies for mitigating the problematic soil, use of less water and nutrient and safe management of pests and diseases, reduction in post-harvest losses and value addition are need of the hour.
The book Vegetable Science: Objective Type is based on multiple choice questions, difference in between, fill in the blanks and true and false which covers vegetable crops based on production, breeding and biotechnology, statistics, biometrics and application of computer. In this book, authors have also given latest information’s in agriculture as special chapter General Agriculture for updating knowledge in agriculture for readers. Memory based questions which had been asked last 22 years (from 1997-2019) in competitive examinations of JRF/SRF/NET in Vegetable Science have also been given in this book.

Preface

Vegetable is considered to be one of the must important commodities in agriculture and an impressive growth has been recorded in vegetable production since independence, which was merely 5.8 tonnes per hectare. However, there is need of to increase the vegetable productivity to meet the increasing demand of the growing populations. Challenges of shrinking land and water resources with a threat of climate change need an effective support in term of human resources vis-a-vis financial support for the development of technologies. Development of vegetable hybrids embedded with gene for higher yield and resistance to biotic/ abiotic stresses; production and protection technologies for mitigating the problematic soil, use of less water and nutrient and safe management of pests and diseases, reduction in post-harvest losses and value addition are need of the hour. Updated information’s on Vegetable Science is interest for teachers, researchers and scholars
The book entitled Vegetable Science Objective Type will fulfil a long felt need of Indian students for graduate and post-graduate of Olericulture. This book has been designed to cover the courses offered by various universities institutes for seeking degree in Vegetable Science and also the syllabi of various competitive examinations for the requirements of those students whose are to compete for ARS, NET, SRF, JRF, SET, and PhD entrance examinations. The book is based on multiple choice questions, difference in between, fill in the blanks and true and false which covers vegetable crops based production, breeding and biotechnology. Statistics , biometrics and application of computer. In this book authors have also given latest information in agriculture as special chapter General Agriculture for updating knowledge in agriculture for readers. Memory based questions which have been asked last 22 years (from 1997-2019) in competitive examinations of JRF/ SRF/NET in Vegetable Science have also been given in this book.
The authors are thankful to family members for their cooperation during the writing of this book.
Valuable suggestions are welcome from readers especially the teaching fraternity and students for making this book a much better one.
