Synopsis Spices hold significant position in human life as essential component of food and are valued for income at domestic and international levels. India has been recognised as the "land of spices" and tempted many foreign travellers. Recent past has put an evidence that the productivity and quality levels of spices are poorer that the country's need. This happened even with good development of production and processing packages alongwith a number of improved cultivars which indicates their poor application to the root level due to paucity of appropriate literature. Present age is the age of competition for seeking admissions in masters and doctoral programmes, securing good placements for which a candidate is required to be well equipped to achieve the target. Production technology of spices intends to help the spice producers and processors in boosting the production with quality of international repute and to students in seeking admissions and securing good grades in higher studies, getting fellowships and jobs. The manuscript has been shaped to cover all the aspects of spices related to their values, production, processing. Breeding and plant protection etc. in a simple language and concise form than, the book may prove meaningful to all concerned with spices production and to the students for success in JRF, SRF, ARS, NET and any other such kind of competitions.
