DOWNLOAD EBOOKBoth wheat and barley are two of the most important food and industrial crops in the world. Wheat and barley cultivation has experienced changes in practices due to factors such as methods of conservation agriculture, cropping systems, wheat varieties, changes in weather patterns, and international trade, necessitating new and different approaches for the successful management of emerging diseases and new pathotypes of pathogens. This valuable volume explores a multitude of new approaches and techniques for the effective management of emerging wheat diseases. This new volume presents the latest literature on management technology of diseases that affect the production of wheat and are capable of reducing grain yields as well as grain quality. These diseases include rusts, smuts, other foliar diseases such as blight, spots, blotch, powdery mildew, bunts, etc., as well as diseases such as Karnal bunt of wheat, which is of importance to international trade. This book will be highly valuable to researchers, students, teachers, farmers, seed growers, traders, and other stakeholders dealing with wheat and barley. It also advances our knowledge in the field of plant pathology, plant breeding, and plant biotechnology, agronomy, and grain quality and pesticide industries. The book will serve as a reference on disease management technologies for the containment of losses in wheat and barley yields and will assist in maintaining wheat quality, reducing the cost of cultivation, increasing yield, and thus in helping to ensuring food security on a global level.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe present book on "Diseases of Wheat and their Management" is the most comprehensive compilation of key issues of wheat diseases and their management approaches. It has detailed descriptions about epidemiology including outbreak most devastating and fast evolving stem rust race Ug99, genetics and management of wheat rusts; spot blotch a devastating menace to wheat in North-Eastern Plain Zone of India, much concerned Karnal bunt problem in North-Western Plain Zone of India. The current status of Fusarium head blight of wheat and barley of our country has been greatly emphasized along with its integrated management strategy. Several important seed borne diseases have been presented with respect to their identification and management. Recent information have also been incorporated about major plant parasitic nematodesof wheat and barley viz., wheat seed gall nematode (Anguina tritici), cereal cyst nematode (CCN)- Heterodera spp., root knot nematode (Meloidogyne graminicola), stunt nematode (Tylenchorhynchus spp.) and lesion nematode (Pratylenchus spp.) that cause huge losses.Moreover, it has current information on effect of micronutrients with respect to management of wheat and barley diseases as well as abiotic stress specially to heat and salinity tolerance in wheat. Hence, the present book will surely be useful to graduate and post-graduate students, teachers and research scientists of Agriculture, Plant Pathology, Plant Protection, Botany and Microbiology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe book provides a comprehensive record of current knowledge on the nature of Fusarium head blight, the damage it causes, and current research on how to control it. The book begins with a historical account of Fusarium head blight epidemics that gives context to recent attempts to control epidemics in wheat and barley. A review of pathogen taxonomy and population biology helps scientists to see relationships among head blight pathogens and other Fusarium species. The information on epidemiology included in this review also provides an understanding of the weather conditions and cultural practices that promote explosive epidemics. New information on infection processes will lead the reader to a better understanding of how to breed for resistance in wheat and barley.
