Biotic Stress Resistance in Millets presents an important guide to
the disease and pest-related challenges of this vital food crop.
Biotic stresses are one of the major constraints for millet
production, but newly emerging and forward-thinking problems with
disease and insect pests are likely to increase as a result of
changing weather, making this an imperative book on best practices.
Current strategies are mainly through the development of resistant
cultivars, as the use of chemicals is cost-prohibitive to many of
those producing millet in developing countries where it is of most
value as a food source. This book explores non-chemical focused
options for improving plant resistance and protecting crop yield.
This single-volume reference will be important for researchers,
teachers and students in the disciplines of Agricultural
Entomology, Plant protection, Resistance Plant Breeding and
Biotechnological pest management.
