Plant Resources of South-East Asia: Vegetables

Plant Resources of South-East Asia (PROSEA) is an international program aiming to disseminate summarized knowledge about useful plants for those in education, research and industry. This interactive CD-ROM on vegetables warrants easy access to a multitude of information. Over 1000 species in South-East Asia are known to yield vegetable products, but only 50 have been developed into highly commercialized crops. This CD-ROM includes extensive information on about 100 important vegetables, and brief descriptions of 125 species of minor importance. These species are all fully illustrated with photographs. Another 800 species yielding vegetables only as a by-product, are also listed. An extensive database of South-East Asian references is also included.
