This book is an attempt to provide critical and up-to-date review
and synthesis of various facets of soil borne plant diseases taking
stock of present state of art in soil borne plant pathogens. The
contributors from various national laboratories, centers of
excellence in research institutes and university with mastery over
the subjects illustrate and review the progress, application of
knowledge on soil borne plant diseases besides updating the readers
with recent paradigm shift in soil borne plant diseases taking in
to account the art and science of ecology and epidemiology, disease
resistance, physico-chemical and biological aspects of
solarization, bio-control processes, molecular detection, genomics
of bio-control, PGPR activity and the art of managing soil borne
diseases in a sustainable way. The book also comprises special s on
typical major soil borne fungal genera such as Rhizoctonia,
Fusarium, Verticillium, Phytophthora and Sclerotium besides
endoparasitic nematodes, Heterodera, Meloidogyne their biology,
perpetuation and population dynamics and the topics on soil borne
diseases of important crops like wheat, cotton and temperate fruits
add to the importance and utility of the volume. The recent
development in bio-control, mass production, registration, quality
control, the principles of solar heating, use of mycorrhiza,
utilization of on-farm wastes combined with sub-lethal heating and
its utility in hot arid region are some of the special features of
the volume. The philosophy of IDM with due consideration to ecology
and economic parameters have been covered. The book caters the need
of knowledge hungry students, teachers, researchers, policy makers,
extension workers of general plant pathology, microbiology,
microbial ecology, biological control, molecular biology, general
biology and all well wishers of farmers.
