Pears (Pyrus spp.) are one of the most important fruit crops in temperate regions. Japanese pear breeding has been carried out for over 100 years, working to release new cultivars that have good fruit quality and other desirable traits. Local cultivar ‘Nijisseiki’ and its relatives, which have excellent fruit texture, have been repeatedly used as parents in the breeding program. This strategy has led to inbreeding within recent cultivars and selections.

Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench, commonly known as ‘ladies finger’ or ‘bhindi’ is an economically important common vegetable crop cultivated throughout the tropical and warm temperate regions of the world. Induced mutation is highly effective in enhancing natural genetic resources and has been used in developing improved cultivars. The effect of gamma irradiation on various morphological and yield attributing characters in M2 generation were studied.

Apple being a temperate fruit is been widely grown under a large area in the Himalayan regions of India because of the favorable climatic conditions. Mountains are however amongst the most fragile experiencing extreme weather conditions, like rising temperature, uneven precipitation, spring hailstorms, and cold waves which severely affect the production of temperate crops.

Apple is the leading fruit in the temperate regions of the world due its major share in the production of temperate fruit crops. Heterozygocity is the major problem for the production of true-to-type plants which leads to the production of propagule through vegetative means. Grafting is the one of the major artificial vegetative means of propagation. But the graft incompatibility and many other things lead to the failure of grafted plants.

Seed spices occupy prominent place in the total basket of spices of the country and play a significant role in our national economy. The group of spices account for about 37 per cent and 18 per cent of the total area and production of spices in the country, respectively. Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) commonly known as ‘Saunf’ is an important and highly valued spice grown in India.

Grape vine originated in Armenia as one of the temperate fruit crop got acclimatized under tropical condition. A field investigation on standardization of pruning severity and season for yield in grape variety Muscat Hamburg was carried out during the period from 2014 to 2015 in the farmer’s field, M.S.S. Farms, Kamayagoundanpatty, Cumbum Valley, Theni district in Tamil Nadu. The field experiment was undertaken by adopting Randomized Block Design with eleven treatments replicated thrice.

The productivity of apple in Jammu and Kashmir is 8.57 metric tons per hectare, when it is compared with the productivity of developed nations of the world this figure is very low and there is plenty of difference in the productivity. In order to curtail this gap a number of factors has to be reviewed seriously and address them priority wise. The factors of prime importance were identified as compatibility of pollen in apple orchards that actually determines the productivity of this most important fruit crop known as king of temperate fruits.

Triacontanol is a natural plant growth regulator for fruit plants. Tricontanol is used to enhance the growth, chlorophyll content, photosynthesis, transpiration, stomatal conductance and uptake of nutrient in different fruit crops. Tricontanol increases the amino acids, sugars and carbohydrates in plants. It also influences other metabolic processes in different fruit crops.

Strawberry is an attractive, tasty, luscious and nutritious fruit grown in temperate and subtropical climate. Plant growth regulators (PGRs) play important role in strawberry production which regulate plant growth, flowering and increase the yield of crops. In recent years, the interest in strawberry production has increased rapidly because of high price value and more demand. Yield increase in strawberry crops has been obtained through improved varieties, efficient management of fertilizers and various agronomic practices.

The importance of viruses and related pathogens on the quality of planting material is largely recognised as a major component in a certification protocol aimed at developing ‘Clean Stock’ programme. Since majority of the viruses associated with temperate fruits are of latent nature, the significance of a quick and reliable method for early detection of these viruses is of paramount importance.

The present investigation entitled “Performance of wild apricot under fertigation practices (Prunus armeniaca L.) in cold arid condition of Ladakh” was carried out at PFDC Farm Leh. The fertigation techniques of water and fertilizers application has provide its superiority, in fruit and vegetable crops, owing to precise and direct application of water in the root zone without wetting the entire area. Fertigation consequences with and without mulch in apricot, one of the most important temperate fruit crops of Ladakh region, have yet not been established.

India is major fruit producing country in the world after china. India have rich fruit diversity in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions. Some of the fruits like Guava, pomegranate, lemon, acid lime, mandarin etc., give various flowering flushes throughout the year if left without any treatment. These crop shows three distinct flowering seasons i.e. February-March (AmbeBahar), June-July (MrigBahar) and October-November (HastaBahar) with the corresponding harvest period during rainy (June – July), winter (November- December) and spring season(February- March), respectively.

Generally the fruit trees are composed of two different parts; rootstock and scion. Rootstocks influence the growth and vigour, production, water relations, physiology and nutrient status of scion leaves grafted or budded onto them. This review describes and discusses the rootstock effects on these parameters of scion cultivars in different temperate fruits more particularly stone fruits.

Bell Pepper (Capsicum annuum L var. grossum) popularly known as sweet pepper, capsicum or Shimla Mirch is a high value vegetable and an important cash crop for temperate regions. The correlation between different quantitative characters provides an idea of association that could be effectively exploited to formulate selection strategies for improving yield components. For any effective selection programme, it would be desirable to consider the relative magnitude of association of various characters with yield.
