Growing apples, cherries or strawberries organically takes more than skipping chemicals. It takes a plan for soil, nutrients, water and pests that works season after season. Organic Culture of Temperate Fruit Plants by Dr. S.N. Ghosh is a comprehensive reference built around exactly that plan.

The book looks at organic production of nine important temperate fruit crops, and treats each with a focus on sustainable, integrated management rather than quick fixes. It also covers production standards and marketing strategies, so growers can think about the farm as a business and not only a field.
