Crop Quality, Storage, and Utilization

This book deals with three major areas of crop quality: 1) quality requirements and utilization, 2) genetic and environmental effects on quality, and 3) harvesting and storage effects on quality. Principles of crop quality are illustrated by three groups of crops: 1) food and feed grains, oilseeds, 2) fiber crops, and 3) forage crops. The omission of other important crops, such as sugarcane, sugarbeets, manioc, potatoes, rubber, tobacco, cacao, coffee, food legumes, fruits, vegetables, and tea is intentional. The original planning committee felt that the objectives of the book should be to cover principles for some major crops rather than specifics on each particular crop species. Therefore, a limited approach was used.
