Abstract:
The objective of the current review is to identify the research work done in case of advance and modern fruit production techniques. Many new techniques are adopted in the field of horticulture for producing better quality fruits. These techniques include soilless culture of fruit crops i.e. aeroponics, meadow orcharding system and high density plantation, use of advance and modern intelligent information techniques. Soilless cultivation is possible with hydroponics and aeroponics. Cultivation of strawberry by aeroponics technique is much more advanced and helps in the year round production of high quality fruits but under protected structures. This reduces the labour for production of strawberry in soil and adds the benefit of easy production of nutrient rich fruits without chemical residue from soil and management of fungal diseases. Meadow orcharding is already practiced globally. It has got more attention recently among growers due to higher production and efficient use of drip irrigation and fertigation. Meadow system of orcharding is followed mainly in peach and guava. Reason for adopting modern technique of meadow planting includes better utilization of resources, efficient management of fruits in every steps leading to proper knowledge of fruit trees, accommodation of large number of trees thereby higher production and return as output. Many automatic machines are being operated in the fields for successful management by preprogramming. This paper gives a light into worthwhile, new advanced and modern techniques in fruit production.
