Plant diseases cause yield loss in crop production, poor quality of
produce, and great economic losses as well. Knowledge of the
perpetuation and spread of the pathogens and various factors
affecting disease development is an important need. Disease
diagnosis is the prime requirement for determining preventive or
curative measures for effective disease management. This new
2-volume set, Diseases of Field Crops, helps to fill the need for
research on plant diseases, their effects, how they spread, and
effective management measures to mitigate their harmful
consequences. The volumes in this set showcase recent advances in
molecular plant pathology and discuss appropriate diagnostic
techniques for identification of causal agents and diseases,
providing the information necessary to establish management
strategies. The chapters in these two volumes include detailed
description of symptoms, causal organisms, disease cycles,
epidemiology, and management techniques of economically important
diseases. The volumes explore existing strategies and offer new
methods that can be used in an integrated manner and with a
comprehensive approach for the management of major diseases of the
field crops. Also taken into consideration is the impact of global
climate change on the spread and severity of plant diseases. This
volume covers pulses, oil seeds, narcotics, and sugar crops. Each
of the chapters focuses on one crop, with a detailed account of
symptoms, causal organisms, disease cycles, epidemiology, and
management of the diseases caused by fungi, bacteria and viruses.
Some crops discussed include green gram, chickpeas and peas,
lentils, soybeans, groundnuts, sunflowers, sugarcane, tobacco, and
others. Volume 1 focuses on cereals, small millets, and fiber
crops.
