This book is a compilation of the most challenging and significant
chapters on the diagnosis and management of important bacterial,
fungal, viral, viroid, phytoplasma, non parasitic diseases and
various physiological disorders, in various crops. The chapters
have been contributed by eminent plant pathologists, having wide
experience of teaching and research on various crops with different
types of diseases, which cause great economic losses. The book
would be very useful for students, teachers and researchers of
plant pathology. This book highlights recent advances made in the
development of new types of resistance in host plants and
alternative strategies for managing plant diseases to improve food
quality and reduce the negative public health impact associated
with plant diseases. Having entered into 21st century advancements
in the Diagnosis of Plant Pathogens and Plant Disease Management
need to be closely examined and adequately applied, so that newer
challenges facing plant pathology could be adequately addressed in
attaining food security for the growing population. Substantial
advancements have been made in terms of expanding knowledge base of
the biology of plant-microbial interactions, disease management
strategies and application and practice of Plant Pathology.
Application of molecular biology in Plant Pathology has greatly
improved our ability to detect plant pathogens and in increasing
our understanding, their ecology and epidemiology. Similarly, new
technologies and resources have been evolved for the development of
sustainable crop protection systems by different control strategies
against various pests and pathogens that are important components
of the integrated pest management programme. Natural products and
chemical compounds discovered as a result of basic research and
molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis have led to the development of
"biorational" pesticides. Biological control has been found to be
the most significant approach to plant health management during the
twentieth century and promises using modern biotechnology, to be
even more significant in the twenty-first century.
