Pests are major biotic constraints in achieving the goal of self sufficiency in quality food production. Losses due to pests at National level vary approximately around 18%, depending upon the genetic constituent of crop, its health & governing environment. Adoption of ecofriendly approaches against the plant diseases is need of the day. The present Book “Plant Diseases: Biocontrol Management” incorporate critical review and research articles on plant diseases and their management practices on important agricultural crops and vegetables. This volume contain nine chapters on diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, nematodes, viruses and phytoplasma and their effective newer management practices. Major chapter includes articles on : Biological control of plant parasites; Effective management of biotic grievances in medicinal and aromatic plants; Integrated disease management in vegetable crops; Essential oil : A new dimension to post-harvest management; Integrated disease management in cereal crops; Diversity, biology, epidemiology and management of bacterial wilt; Diseases of phytoplasma and plant viruses in Bast fiber crops and their management; Diseases caused by Nematodes and their management. In addition to this an article on Nanoscale materials as novel antimicrobial agent have added to the value of the book. I am sure the information given in this book will prove helpful to those interested in Plant Pathology and Plant Protection, Botany, agriculture students, teachers and researchers Contents Biological control of Plant- Parasites Effective Management of Biotic Grievances in Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Integrated Disease Management in Vegetable Crops Essential Oil: A New Dimension to Postharvest Management Integrated Disease Management in Cereal Crops Diversity, Biology, Epidemiology and Management of Bacterial Wilt Diseases of Phytoplasma and Plant Viruses in Bast Fibre crops and their management Diseases Caused by Nematodes and their management Nanoscale Materials as Novel Antimicrobial Agents Agriculture ddc BK 0 0 ddc 0 1 REF BSDU BSDU 2016-11-29 1700.00 0 632.3 TRI 000912 2020-02-12 00:00:00 1700.00 2017-06-02 BK
