"This Book offers a well-organized and application-oriented treatment of vegetable breeding, linking fundamental genetic concepts with practical strategies used in crop improvement programmes. The authors present the subject in a student-friendly manner while keeping the discussion aligned with present-day demands such as climate resilience, stable yields, improved quality and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses.A major strength of the book is its systematic coverage of breeding objectives and methods across key vegetable crops. With its balanced blend of principles and field relevance, it is a commendable resource for strengthening the scientific and practical understanding of vegetable improvement."— Dr. Shakuli Saxena, Teerthanker Mahaveer University, India.
