Kiwifruit  is one of the few fruit crops that has been successfully introduced to  the marketplace and for which commercial production in several countries  has expanded rapidly over the last 50 years. Kiwifruit science and  production has advanced significantly during this time, with multiple  new green-, yellow- and red-fleshed cultivars being commercialized while  moving into the era of genomics, sustainability, digital technology and  automation.

This book reviews the scientific and technical  information published on kiwifruit, their biology and management. It  provides a comprehensive reference on kiwifruit, including their  history, genetic material, culture, physiology, pest and disease  control, and fruit consumption. Particular attention is given to recent  threats and opportunities, including environmental issues, the disease Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae,  new genetics, new growing areas and technology advances. Contributions  from a wide range of international specialists ensure coverage of key  aspects of kiwifruit and their culture in different environments.

Of  particular interest to academic researchers in horticulture, the book  is also suitable for a wider audience including extension personnel,  growers, consultants, and professional and technical staff associated  with the kiwifruit industry.
