The book is presenting a comprehensive information on fundamental,
and applied knowledge of Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin.
infecting cruciferous crops, and weeds. Clubroot of crucifers has
spread over more than 88 countries of the world with average annual
loss of cruciferous crops from 10-15 per cent at global level. It
is considered as a disease of cultivation since once introduced in
a field, its inoculum piles up year by year in the form of
resilient resting spores of P. brassicae which spreads in the field
through field operations. This disease is very unique since the
pathogen can survive in the soil in the rhizosphere of non-host
plants in addition to its main host cruciferous species, cultivated
or wild. This book complies inclusive information about the
disease, its geographical distribution, symptoms, host range, yield
losses, and disease assessment scales. The book also explores
host-parasite interactions in the form of seed infection, disease
cycle, process of infection, pathogenesis, epidemiology and
forecasting. Chapters discuss the genetic and molecular mechanisms
of host-parasite relationships, management practices including
cultural, chemical, biological control practices, and other
integrated approaches. The book is immensely useful to researchers,
teachers, extension specialists, farmers, and all others who are
interested to grow healthy and profitable cruciferous crops all
over the world. Also the book serves as additional reading material
for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture and
especially plant pathology. National and international agricultural
scientists, policy makers will also find this to be a useful read.
