Plant Diseases And Their Management A Sustainable Approach

This new book Plant Diseases and Their Management: A Sustainable Approach studies the most modern methods in control and management of plant diseases. It covers a wide range of themes on the biological cultural chemical and genome engineering controls for plant diseases brought on by viruses bacteria phytoplasma and fungi. This book details how natural materials organic disease control and new-generation fungicides can all be utilized to thwart or stop plant pathogen activity in an effective manner. The book also delves into methods for increasing the shelf life of produce presents approaches to plant disease management in organic as well as conventional farming and considers molecular approaches to disease detection and identification in plants. The book looks at viral bacterial and fungal diseases in different plants and their management. It also discusses several pathogens and how diseases caused by these can be managed effectively. It also covers diseases in specific crops such as rice pulses fruits and vegetables including apples berries and capsicum. A novel approach of genome engineering to develop resilience in plants against various diseases and future challenges is considered as well. Key features: Presents management approaches to fungal phytoplasmal viral and bacterial plant diseases Discusses the protection of fruits vegetables and crops from various diseases for prolonged shelf-life Looks at genome engineering as a novel approach for fungal bacterial and viral disease management Considers both traditional and modern methods in the management of viruses infecting plants Covering new methods for the sustainable control of plant diseases this volume will be valuable to plant and crop specialists agriculture-based industries and faculty and students in the agricultural sciences. |Plant Diseases and Their Management A Sustainable Approach
