The International Society for Horticultural Science - in short ISHS – is a truly global network comprising over 53,000 individuals, universities, governments, institutions, libraries and commercial companies, thousands of whom joined as Individual Members, in addition to a substantial number of Institutional Members and some 50 Member Countries/Regions. It is a major source of up-to-date information on global horticultural research. ISHS aims to promote research in all branches of horticulture. It encourages the development of international co-operation, bringing together scientific and technical professionals to stimulate, facilitate and co-ordinate research and scientific activities on a global scale.


The aim of the ISHS is "...to promote and encourage research and education in all branches of horticultural science and to facilitate cooperation and knowledge transfer on a global scale through its symposia and congresses, publications and scientific structure." Membership is open to all interested researchers, educators, students and horticultural industry professionals.

Fruit germplasm resources and demands for small scale farmers post-tsunami and conflicts in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam province, Indonesia

Journal Articles & Books
декабря, 2013
Indonesia

Civil conflicts and the December 2004 tsunami have impeded the development of local fruit germplasm despite the inherent high quality and potential of Aceh’s fruit germplasm. Most of Aceh communities are composed of small scale farmers with land ownership averaging from 0.25 to 4 ha per capita; they plant various trees species (fruits, rubber, cocoa, etc.) in a mixed-tree based system (agroforestry) with extensive management. In Aceh' village markets most fruit is produced by local farmers.

Characteristics and land potential for vegetable development in Temanggung District, Central Java

Journal Articles & Books
декабря, 2012

Vegetables are mostly grown in mountainous areas with an altitude >400 m a.s.l., such as Temanggung, Central Java. The steep slope farming considers very little environmental suitability and sustainability. This study was conducted in 2004, covering a total area of 87,223 ha. Soil samples were analyzed for soil texture, pH, C, N, P, K, CEC, exchangeable cations, and base saturation. Soil characteristics data were used for land suitability evaluation for vegetables crops using the Automated Land Evaluation System (ALES) program.

Sustainable vegetable cultivation in Vietnam - prospects and constraints

Vietnam
Republic of Korea
China

Vegetable production has an increasing importance in most of the Asian countries. The leader in production per capita is China followed by South Korea, North Korea and Vietnam. In Vietnam, vegetable production is at the moment on 4th place of all agricultural commodities. In the past, in Vietnam as in other South-East-Asian countries, the production of rice, sugar cane, cassava and maize often as monoculture was typical.

Impact of soil management practices on physical and chemical properties of soils formed in marls, conglomerates or schists in sloping olive groves

Journal Articles & Books
декабря, 2012
Greece

In west Crete, Greece we studied the effect of land management practices, tillage and no tillage, on physical and chemical properties of autochthonous soils that were formed in marls, conglomerates or schists in slopes higher than 10%. Soil organic matter content was higher in the case of no tillage in soils formed on conglomerates. The conglomerates soil content in available P was 8.27 mg kg-1 in the case of no-tillage and 2.87 mg kg-1 in tillage while in soils formed on marls it was 26.65 and 16.83 mg kg-1, respectively.

Postharvest technology innovation and opportunities of extension for horticultural produce: perspective and trends

Journal Articles & Books
декабря, 2012

The social and economic consequences of horticultural product food losses from farm to the consumer remain unacceptably high. In developing countries postharvest losses compromise food security, income generation and poverty alleviation for millions of families. In developed countries substantial product losses result in economic losses to supply chain participants and reduced supplies of healthy products into international markets.
