Chrysanthemum is one of the leading cut flowers and potted ornamental plants in the international flower market in both temperate and sub-tropical regions. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the scientific principles underlying chrysanthemum genetics, breeding, physiology, and production. The book consists of 6 Sections: (A) Global Chrysanthemum Industry; (B) Genetics, Breeding, and Biotechnology; (C) Crop Physiology, Cultivation, and Modelling; (D) Pests and Diseases, and their Management; (E) Post-harvest Management and Value-addition; (F) Festivals and Landscape Gardening of Chrysanthemum. It provides comprehensive and accessible information on all aspects of the chrysanthemum crop. This book presents in-depth knowledge, supported by photographs and illustrations throughout, to enhance understanding. Authored by an international team of experts from Asia (India, China, Japan), Europe (Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Portugal), and the USA, this book serves as an essential reference for horticulture students, researchers, extension workers, industry professionals, chrysanthemum breeders, and commercial growers.

M. SharathKumar (Edited By)
Sharath is a horticulturist and an active writer and speaker with his imprints strong in floriculture and background education and experience in horticulture. He started his career working at Centre for Urban Greenery and Ecology (CUGE), Singapore and later served in Singapore Botanic Gardens in a diverse range and scale of projects of orchid breeding and cultivation, Turf Science, landscape and gardening, vertical greenery and urban landscaping. His career excellence can be inferred from the fellowships, research grants, scholarships, orchid hybrids (Phalaenopsis SharathKumar, M and Spathoglottis SharathKumar) named after him and the awards he has achieved. Presently Sharath is working at two institutes; Wageningen University and Research, the Netherlands and Max-Planck institute of molecular plant physiology, Potsdam, Germany on a 4-year PhD project dealing with molecular regulation of chrysanthemum flowering influenced by light spectrum, temperature and sugars.
