Worldwide soybean crop yields can achieve USD$130 billion per year
in farm-level sales, but around 13% of these yields are lost to
disease. Effective disease management could generate significant
economic benefits, and while disease management strategies do
exist, their application remains limited among producers, often due
to an incomplete understanding of disease incidence and severity,
as well as perceived complexities of these strategies and a lack of
information regarding success rates. This book presents an economic
perspective on disease control, with an emphasis on producer choice
among alternative technologies and potential changes in cropping
systems. It provides an overview of global soybean diseases, their
economic significance and management, and covers farm-level
decision making, economic payoffs of alternative disease practices
and key uncertainties. The book also outlines a global economic
model that evaluates disease distribution and management
implications. Key features include: - Extensive empirical case
studies of soybean disease control, offering strategies for
economically optimal management of diseases such as soybean
seedling disease and root rot. - Analysis of economic factors to
guide farm-level decision making. - Consideration of new
technologies in disease management and their potential market-level
impacts. This text is recommended for students and researchers in
plant pathology and agricultural economics, as well as
professionals in the soybean production industry.
