"Ornamental Geophytes: From Basic Science to Sustainable Production
edited by Rina Kamenetsky and Hiroshi Okubo is a new release from
CRC Press that is a worthy successor to The Physiology of Flower
Bulbs edited by De Hertogh and Le Nard in 1993. This new book
addresses the recent advances in geophyte science by reviewing the
current knowledge and its impact on the productivity and
sustainability of the bulb industry.
… The new treatise, published in September 2012, consists of 20
chapters, coauthored by 40 leading international experts in the
field. … Clearly this book will be a basic reference work in the
industry and a must-have volume for researchers, students, and
horticulturists."
