This volume focuses on integrated pest and disease management
(IPM/IDM) and biocontrol of some key diseases of perennial and
annual crops. It continues a series originated during a visit of
prof. K. G. Mukerji to the CNR Plant Protection Institute in Bari
(Italy), in November 2005. Both editors aim at a series of five
volumes embracing, in a multi-disciplinary approach, advances and
achievements in the practice of crop protection, for a wide range
of plant parasites and pathogens. Two volumes of the series were
already produced, dedicated to general concepts in IPM and to
management and biocontrol of nematodes of grain crops and
vegetables. This Volume deals, in particular, with diseases due to
bacteria, phytoplasma and fungi. Every day, in any agroecosystem,
farmers face problems related to plant diseases. Since the
beginning of agriculture, indeed, and probably for a long time in
the future, farmers will continue to do so. Every year, plant
diseases cause severe losses in the global production of food and
other agricultural commodities, worldwide. Plant diseases are not
limited to episodic events occurring in single farms or crops, and
should not be regarded as single independent cases, affecting only
farms on a local scale. The impact of plant disease epidemics on
food shortage ignited, in the last two centuries, deep cultural,
social and demographic changes, affecting million human beings,
through i. e. migration, death and hunger.
