Plant diseases often are the worst natural hazards in agriculture, horticulture and forestry. New diseases and new biotypes of existing disease producing organisms appear from time to time in more virulent forms. The most startling aspect of plant diseases is that their management cost us a huge sum every year with serious consequences in environment and human health. Therefore, integrated disease management practices need to be refined and adopted to reduce the crop losses. In this book, the current status of various aspects of integrated disease management in fruits, vegetable, ornamentals, cereals, pulses, oilseeds, medicinal and forest plants etc. has been analyzed. Major focus is on the integrated disease management in horticultural crops. Emphasis has been given to the use of non-chemical methods like cultural practices, soil solarization, plant growth promoting microorganisms, organic amendments, botanicals and biocontrol agents. It is hoped that the book will serve as an important guide to the plant pathologists, horticulturists, nematologists, microbiologists, mushroom scientists, breeders and students.

Trees, grasses, flowers, and other plant life together make up the majority of the earth's living environment. They are the only higher species on our planet that are capable of converting the energy from the sun into a form of chemical energy that can be stored and used, such as carbs, lipids, and proteins. Every living creature, including humans, need these plant-based compounds either directly or indirectly in order to survive. The growth of the plants is dependent on the availability of nutrients and water in the soil where they grow as well as the usual ranges of environmental parameters such as light, temperature, and pH. These factors all play a role in the development of the plants. Plants, on the other hand, may suffer from illness. Anything that has an effect on the health of plants is likely to have an effect on their growth as well as a significant reduction in their utility, both for the plants themselves and for humanity. The most prevalent factors that contribute to a decline in or complete elimination of plant growth and output include insect pests, plant diseases, and poor climatic conditions. Plants are susceptible to illnesses that are caused by infectious pathogens that are also present in animals and people. Even though there is no evidence that plants experience pain or anguish, the progression of illness nevertheless follows the same processes and is often just as complicated in plants as it is in animals and humans. Plant pathology is the study of (1) the living organisms and the environmental conditions that cause disease in plants; (2) the mechanisms by which these factors produce disease in plants; (3) the interactions between the disease causing agents and the diseased plant; and (4) the methods of preventing disease, alleviating the damage it causes, or controlling a disease either before it develops in a plant or after it has developed in a plant.

The book is divided into different sections to facilitate the readers to get in touch with the subject of their interest. The sections though self-explanatory have been divided crop-wise with further classification according to causal organisms. Since mushrooms are a developing industry, a section has been added on that too. This book will provide an insight into the pathological problems of different crops and help the reader to have broader view of different scientific method's being used to manage them.

This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of plant diseases, including pathogens, plant-pathogen interactions, their management, and future perspectives. Plant diseases limit potential crop production and are responsible for considerable losses in agriculture, horticulture and forestry. Our global food production systems are under increasing pressure from global trade, climate change and urbanization. If we could alleviate the losses due to plant diseases, we would be able to produce roughly 20% more food - enough to feed the predicted world population in 2050. Co-authored by a group of international teachers of plant pathology who have collaborated for many years, the book gives expert and seamless coverage. Plant Pathology and Plant Diseases: Addresses major advances in plant-pathogen interactions, classification of plant pathogens, and the methods of managing or controlling disease Is relevant for a global audience; it covers many examples of diseases with an impact worldwide but with an emphasis on disease of particular importance in a temperate context Features over 400 striking figures and colour photographs It is suitable for graduate students and advanced undergraduates studying plant pathology, biology, agriculture and horticulture.
