DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The book is divided into different sections to facilitate the readers to get in touch with the subject of their interest. The sections though self-explanatory have been divided crop-wise with further classification according to causal organisms. Since mushrooms are a developing industry, a section has been added on that too. This book will provide an insight into the pathological problems of different crops and help the reader to have broader view of different scientific method's being used to manage them.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Plant diseases often are the worst natural hazards in agriculture, horticulture and forestry. New diseases and new biotypes of existing disease producing organisms appear from time to time in more virulent forms. The most startling aspect of plant diseases is that their management cost us a huge sum every year with serious consequences in environment and human health. Therefore, integrated disease management practices need to be refined and adopted to reduce the crop losses. In this book, the current status of various aspects of integrated disease management in fruits, vegetable, ornamentals, cereals, pulses, oilseeds, medicinal and forest plants etc. has been analyzed. Major focus is on the integrated disease management in horticultural crops. Emphasis has been given to the use of non-chemical methods like cultural practices, soil solarization, plant growth promoting microorganisms, organic amendments, botanicals and biocontrol agents. It is hoped that the book will serve as an important guide to the plant pathologists, horticulturists, nematologists, microbiologists, mushroom scientists, breeders and students.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book provides an account of the classical and recent trends in plant sciences, which have contributed for disease management strategies in plants for sustainable agriculture. Advancements in the disciplines of biological sciences like biotechnology, microbiology, bioinformatics as well as information and communication technology etc has given the new dimensions for the development of new plant disease management strategies. By keeping this perspective in view, the editors collected and compiled the useful, practical and recent information regarding plant disease management from a diverse group of authors from different countries associated with well-reputed scientific, teaching and research organizations with the objective to update and equip the researchers with comprehensive and latest knowledge of plant disease management. This book is based on the knowledge of traditional and modern approaches for plant disease management. It has 15 chapters, each chapter describing the pillar strategies, which may be the possible way for crop protection from diseases.This effort deals with the history and recent trends in plant disease control, plant genetics and physiology in disease prognosis, conventional plant breeding program for disease resistance, synthetic chemicals: major component of plant disease management, biological antagonism: expected safe and sustainable way to manage plant diseases , soil microbes and plant health, conventional and modern technologies for the management of post-harvest diseases, nanobiotechnology, an innovative plant disease management approach, transgenic approaches in plants: strategic control for disease management, exploiting RNAi mechanism in plants for disease resistance, genome editing technologies for resistance against phytopathogens: principles, applications and future prospects, plant health clinics in Pakistan: operations and prospects, precision agriculture technologies for management of plant disease, quarantine and regulations and development and implementation of IDM program for annual and perennial crops.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book is a compilation of the most challenging and significant chapters on the diagnosis and management of important bacterial, fungal, viral, viroid, phytoplasma, non parasitic diseases and various physiological disorders, in various crops. The chapters have been contributed by eminent plant pathologists, having wide experience of teaching and research on various crops with different types of diseases, which cause great economic losses. The book would be very useful for students, teachers and researchers of plant pathology. This book highlights recent advances made in the development of new types of resistance in host plants and alternative strategies for managing plant diseases to improve food quality and reduce the negative public health impact associated with plant diseases. Having entered into 21st century advancements in the Diagnosis of Plant Pathogens and Plant Disease Management need to be closely examined and adequately applied, so that newer challenges facing plant pathology could be adequately addressed in attaining food security for the growing population. Substantial advancements have been made in terms of expanding knowledge base of the biology of plant-microbial interactions, disease management strategies and application and practice of Plant Pathology. Application of molecular biology in Plant Pathology has greatly improved our ability to detect plant pathogens and in increasing our understanding, their ecology and epidemiology. Similarly, new technologies and resources have been evolved for the development of sustainable crop protection systems by different control strategies against various pests and pathogens that are important components of the integrated pest management programme. Natural products and chemical compounds discovered as a result of basic research and molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis have led to the development of “biorational” pesticides. Biological control has been found to be the most significant approach to plant health management during the twentieth century and promises using modern biotechnology, to be even more significant in the twenty-first century.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Trees, grasses, flowers, and other plant life together make up the majority of the earth's living environment. They are the only higher species on our planet that are capable of converting the energy from the sun into a form of chemical energy that can be stored and used, such as carbs, lipids, and proteins. Every living creature, including humans, need these plant-based compounds either directly or indirectly in order to survive. The growth of the plants is dependent on the availability of nutrients and water in the soil where they grow as well as the usual ranges of environmental parameters such as light, temperature, and pH. These factors all play a role in the development of the plants. Plants, on the other hand, may suffer from illness. Anything that has an effect on the health of plants is likely to have an effect on their growth as well as a significant reduction in their utility, both for the plants themselves and for humanity. The most prevalent factors that contribute to a decline in or complete elimination of plant growth and output include insect pests, plant diseases, and poor climatic conditions. Plants are susceptible to illnesses that are caused by infectious pathogens that are also present in animals and people. Even though there is no evidence that plants experience pain or anguish, the progression of illness nevertheless follows the same processes and is often just as complicated in plants as it is in animals and humans. Plant pathology is the study of (1) the living organisms and the environmental conditions that cause disease in plants; (2) the mechanisms by which these factors produce disease in plants; (3) the interactions between the disease causing agents and the diseased plant; and (4) the methods of preventing disease, alleviating the damage it causes, or controlling a disease either before it develops in a plant or after it has developed in a plant.
