With advances in agro-technology, cucurbits are now being grown
throughout the year. However, they are prone to biotic and abiotic
stresses resulting in significant yield loss. Sustainable
management of such stresses is a complex issue in the intensive
cultivation of cucurbits involving high levels of fertilization and
irrigation. Further, under the changing climatic conditions, pest
scenarios vary constantly, with invasive alien species of pests
becoming more common as a result of free trade and frequent
international travel. As such, agrochemicals are being used as
powerful weapons to combat the increasing number of pests and
diseases. Lack of proper crop management technologies, inaccurate
diagnosis, and indiscriminate and excessive use of pesticides are
major causes of pesticide resistance and resurgence, environmental
pollution, and hazards to the non-target biota. This comprehensive
book provides essential insights into the management of biotic and
abiotic stresses in cucurbit cultivation and re-evaluating the role
of agrochemicals, and gathers information on insect pests, mites,
nematodes, diseases and weeds, as well as on their sustainable
management from scattered sources. Written in language that is easy
to understand and including high-quality photographs, it is a
valuable resource for students, researchers, plant protection
specialists, extension workers, and growers.
