Palms are monocots, Angiosperms, belonging to the family Palmae
(Arecaceae), perennials having woody stems. Palmae (Arecaceae)
family comprised of about six subfamilies, 200 genera and 2,700
species that are distributed all over the tropical, subtropical and
Mediterranean landscape. Palms are diverse (ecologically and
morphologically) group of plants. Ornamental palms are important
component of landscape as well as interiorscapes. Additionally,
these plants are good source of food, feed and shelter with
numerous other commercial benefits. Likewise other trees and crops,
landscape and field nurseries of palms are also subjected to
various threats of insect pest and diseases (caused by different
plant pathogens). Amongst fungal diseases leaf spots, leaf blights,
Fusarium wilts, butt rots, bud rots, root rots, lethal yellowing
and decline of palms are major growth constraints of palm growth.
In developing countries very little attention has been paid on the
etiology and management of these fungal diseases on ornamental
palms. Accurate diagnosis and reliable management plan of palm
fungal diseases usually requires expertise in both modern and
advanced plant pathological approaches. Historically it was general
belief that plant pathogens are not associated with human diseases.
Since 19th century, several clinical reports are available
indicating many plant pathogenic fungi (Aspergillus spp.,
Penicillium spp., Alternaria spp., Trichoderma spp., Fusarium spp.,
Curvularia spp. and Colletotrichum Spp) as novel agents of human
diseases. Besides the association of fungal plant pathogens
infecting ornamental palms, harbouring any of earlier mentioned or
other fungal species (capable of causing certain diseases in human
beings or pets) by the ornamental palms cultivation (either grown
indoor or outdoor) is an important area of research to be explored
and addressed thoroughly. This book will provide the deep
information regarding major fungal diseases of ornamental palms,
their symptoms, disease identification, and etiology and management
strategies. This book will also provide unique knowledge regarding
the ornamental palms harbouring kinds of human fungal pathogens and
their practical management at domestic and commercial scale, in
order to make cultivation of these plant more beneficial for
humans, animals and environment.
