Biography

Larissa I. Weisfeld, Anatoly I. Opalko, Sarra A. Bekuzarova

"The book is devoted to solving the actual problems of production of ecologically safe products: potatoes, vegetables, berries, etc., which meets the relevant international requirements. The information contained in the book allows us to consider the problem of safe production of horticultural products as well as gardening and plant growing in a broad ecological aspect, which is of great importance for the moderate and sustainable use of biological resources. Of particular note is the great contribution made by the editors of the book: Larissa Weisfeld, Anatoly Opalko, Sarra Bekuzarova, as well as Gennady Zaikov and Alexander Goloshchapov, as they consider the actualization of this problem. With regard to direct agricultural production, the book indicates the directions on which agriculture can be oriented with the aim of providing the population with environmentally safe and biologically valuable products. . . . An interesting book useful for professionals and entrepreneurs interested in applying the latest scientific achievements."

"The authors study the extensive biotic diversity in the field of horticulture for the purpose of sustainable development of production in current soil and climatic conditions, including anthropogenic pressure on the soil and composition of the air environment harmful to living organisms by chemicals. Researchers of this volume offer new technologies for a wide range of garden plants, including vegetables (potatoes and cucumbers), fruit and berry (apple or berry crops), nut-bearing crops, as well as floral and ornamental plants, including indoor landscaping of office premises and hotel lobbies and winter garden facilities. [This] volume will be useful for the scientific community, including for ecologists; geneticists and breeders; gardeners who are interested in using science for industrial production of fruits, vegetables and flowers; as well as for beginning scientists, such as graduate students and students who want to live their life in science and practice studying scientific material and English-language literature."
