Both wheat and barley are two of the most important food and
industrial crops in the world. Wheat and barley cultivation has
experienced changes in practices due to factors such as methods of
conservation agriculture, cropping systems, wheat varieties,
changes in weather patterns, and international trade, necessitating
new and different approaches for the successful management of
emerging diseases and new pathotypes of pathogens. This valuable
volume explores a multitude of new approaches and techniques for
the effective management of emerging wheat diseases. This new
volume presents the latest literature on management technology of
diseases that affect the production of wheat and are capable of
reducing grain yields as well as grain quality. These diseases
include rusts, smuts, other foliar diseases such as blight, spots,
blotch, powdery mildew, bunts, etc., as well as diseases such as
Karnal bunt of wheat, which is of importance to international
trade. This book will be highly valuable to researchers, students,
teachers, farmers, seed growers, traders, and other stakeholders
dealing with wheat and barley. It also advances our knowledge in
the field of plant pathology, plant breeding, and plant
biotechnology, agronomy, and grain quality and pesticide
industries. The book will serve as a reference on disease
management technologies for the containment of losses in wheat and
barley yields and will assist in maintaining wheat quality,
reducing the cost of cultivation, increasing yield, and thus in
helping to ensuring food security on a global level.
