Fungicides for Field Crops provides an overview of the current knowledge of fungicides and their use on field crops. This comprehensive book, which includes the contributions of 40 professionals from 20 universities and other organizations, combines past knowledge about fungicides with recent developments in the realm of field crop fungicides. Fungicides for Field Crops highlights the use of fungicides as key tools in the management of important diseases of field crops. Management is presented as a decision-making process--one in which factors as diverse as weather conditions and economics must be considered. Having a more complete understanding of fungicides will inform that decision making and help determine when fungicides should be included as part of a management plan. Parts I, II, and III establish a foundation of knowledge about fungicide use, addressing basic terms and concepts, key factors in decision making, and concerns for fungicide stewardship, respectively. Part IV presents details about using fungicides to manage diseases of 16 field crops. Each crop is treated in a separate section that begins with a discussion of general issues of foliar application and seed treatment and ends with an inclusive table identifying diseases of that crop, including what causes them and how fungicides may be used to treat them. 131 color photographs illustrate disease symptoms and show techniques and enhance the key concepts described in the text.

The global population is increasing rapidly, and feeding the ever-increasing population poses a serious challenge for agriculturalists around the world. Seed is a basic and critical input in agriculture to ensure global food security. Roughly 90 percent of the crops grown all over the world are propagated by seed. However, seed can also harbour and spread pathogens, e.g. fungi, bacteria, nematodes, viruses etc., which cause devastating diseases. Seed-borne pathogens represent a major threat to crop establishment and yield. Hence, timely detection and diagnosis is a prerequisite for their effective management. The book "Seed-Borne Diseases of Agricultural Crops: Detection, Diagnosis & Management" addresses key issues related to seed-borne/transmitted diseases in various agricultural crops. Divided into 30 chapters, it offers a comprehensive compilation of papers concerning: the history of seed pathology, importance of seed-borne diseases, seed-borne diseases and quarantine, seed health testing and certification, detection and diagnosis of seed-borne diseases and their phytopathogens, host-parasite interactions during development of seed-borne diseases, diversity of seed-borne pathogens, seed-borne diseases in major agricultural crops, non-parasitic seed disorders, mechanisms of seed transmission and seed infection, storage fungi and mycotoxins, impact of seed-borne diseases on human and animal health, and management options for seed-borne diseases. We wish to thank all of the eminent researchers who contributed valuable chapters to our book, which will be immensely useful for students, researchers, academics, and all those involved in various agro-industries.

To Meet The Food Demands Of Ever Increasing Human Population, Agricultural Production Is Being Augmented Through The Use Of New Crop Varieties And Changed Agronomic Practices. These Practices Have Enormously Increased The Incidence Of Several Pests And Diseases. Plant Diseases Cause Serious Threats To The Successful Cultivation Of Agricultural Crops Resulting In Huge Losses In Their Yields. In The Recent Past, Certain Diseases Have Appeared In Epidemic From Endangering Sustainability In Agriculture. The Destructive Potential Of Plant Diseases In Modern Day Agriculture Has Increased Due To The Use Of Cultivars Having Narrow Genetic Base Over Large Areas. Correct Disease Diagnosis Is The Prime Requirement For Recommending Preventive Or Curative Measures For Effective Disease Management. Knowledge Of Perpetuation And Spread Of The Pathogens And Various Factors Affecting Disease Development Is Necessary. All The Available Strategies Must Be Used In An Integrated Manner And A Holistic Approach Needs To Be Developed For The Management Of Major Diseases Of A Crop. Information On Latest Developments In The Understanding And Management Of Plant Diseases Has Been Compiled In This Publication. The Book Deals With Diseases Of Important Cereals, Pulses, Oilseeds, Sugar Crops, Cotton And Fodder Crops Through 23 Chapters. Nematode Problems Of These Crops Have Been Exclusively Discussed In One Chapter While Another Deals With Mycotoxin Contamination In Stored Grains. Coloured Photographs Showing Symptoms Of Important Diseases Are Given To Help In Disease Diagnosis. It Is Hoped That The Book Will Cater To The Needs Of Research Workers, Teachers And Students Not Only In The Discipline Of Plant Patholgy But Also In Other Areas Of Agriculture.

Plant diseases cause serious threats to the successful cultivation of horticultural crops, resulting in huge losses in their yields. These plant diseases are known to affect horticultural crops at various growth stages and reduce the yield as well as quality of fruits and vegetables. Diseases also cause subsequent postharvest transit and storage losses. This 4-volume set provides the latest diagnostic information along with effective management solutions to the problems of diseases of field crop plants caused by phytopathogens. In volume 1, each chapter includes an introduction, disease symptoms, causal organisms, disease cycles, epidemiology, and management of economically important plants. With contributions from national scientists who are engaged in teaching, research, and extension services who share their experiences here, the chapters explore apples, amla (or Indian gooseberry), avocado, Indian bael, banana, Indian jujube, citrus, grapes, guava, hazelnut, and more. The volumes provide an abundance of information for understanding and managing plant diseases, with emphasis on diagnostic techniques. The collection includes: Volume 1: Fruit Crops Volume 2: Vegetable Crops Volume 3: Ornamental Plants and Spice Crops Volume 4: Important Plantation Crops, Medicinal Crops, and Mushrooms
