160 , Genetically modified foods have the potential to solve many of the world’s hunger and malnutrition problems and to help protect and preserve environment by increasing yield and reducing reliance upon chemical pesticides and herbicides. Yet there are many challenges ahead for governments, especially in the areas of safety testing regulation, international policy and food labeling. Many people feel that genetic engineering is the inevitable wave of the future and that we cannot afford to ignore a technology that has such enormous potential benefits. However, we must proceed with caution to avoid causing unintended harm to human health and the environment as a result of our enthusiasm for this powerful technology. This book “Transgenic Crops” contains 18 chapters covering all aspects related to subject. Book provide latest information on the technology and developments in the area of developing transgenic crops. Major chapters included in the book : Need for transgenic technology; Benefits and Risks Associated with transgenic crops; Genetic manipulation of plant cells; Techniques for gene transfer in plants; Integration of transgenes; Problems in gene transfer; Analysis and confirmation of transgene integration; Field testing of transgenic plants; Agricultural impact of transgenic plants; Regulation of transgenic crops; Intellectual property and transgenic plants; Transgenic plants and controversies; Future prospects; Transgenic crops in India; Funds for research on transgenic crops; Conclusion and recent news about transgenic crops. This book will be useful to biotechnolgist, agriculture scientist, researchers, teachers and students of plant science. 9788179102923

220 , Indian agriculture is at a crossroad facing food insecurity, growing ecological imbalance, stagnation of National resources, decreasing diversity, spread of unsustainable agricultural practices and threat from global market. 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 978817910=5023

364 , The changed agricultural scenario has to focus our attention on way is to check plant diseases, cut crop losses, avoid-wide fluctuations in productions and sustain the higher levels of productivity. The issue facing agricultural and in particular disease control is, therefore, managing the plant disease severity below the economic threshold following ecologically safe, economically viable and easily operational procedures. The Integrated Disease Management (IDM) strategy is targeted to achieve this objective. The present book “Plant Diseases and its Management” incorporates critical review and research articles on important plant diseases and their management strategies. This volume contain 19 chapters covering diseases of economically important plants and their management. Chapters covers Diseases of Wheat, Barley, Kodo-millet, Soybean, Coconut, Pulses, Sugarcane, Rice, Cluster bean and their mode of management. Other important articles included are: Management of Ganoderma stem rot disease of Prosopis cineraria through biocontrol fungi; Diversity of fungal biocontrol agents & their uses in agriculture; Agriculturally important microorganisms and sustainable agriculture; Microbial and botanical biopesticides in plant disease management. Book also includes articles on virus disease of cowpea; Role of Biological proteins in the management of plant viruses; Virus free plant through meristem tip culture; Phytoplasma of sugarcane & its control. Detailed information is given on Microbial versatility towards plant and phytonematode management and Microbes in the management of plant diseases. The book will be useful to all students and researchers in plant pathology, agriculture, botany & plant protection. 9788171326167

269 , Seed constitutes the most important investment in effecting successful agriculture. Quality seeds with superior genetics are indispensable to initiate remunerative agriculture with added dividends. Seed quality control concerns with purity of the seed during production and marketing, required seed germination and physical purity, free from weed seeds, pathogens and should have optimum moisture content. The seed health has assumed greater importance as the seed has to be certified to be free from objectionable seed borne pathogens. It is necessary to strengthen the seed testing laboratories in the country with proper equipment and manpower. The present book “Seed : Quality Production, Diseases and Quarantine” is a well-documented comprehensive review of significant investigations on quality seed production, diseases & management and quarantine regulations. This volume contains 10 chapters covering major titles as : Organic seed production; Scientific seed production; Crop production technologies in seed spices; General seed certification standards; Seed spices research in India; Seed production in opium; Flowering, fruiting, yield & seed quality influenced by PGRs; Integrated disease management for vegetable seed production; Biological control of seed & soil-borne plant pathogens and Plant quarantine and seed health testing. Each topic is written by an expert and offers the most comprehensive and up-to-date information on pertinent topic. Each chapter discusses the current status. This book will become the standard reference for variety of scholars and farmers, researchers in agriculture, plant sciences, applied biologists, breeders, a must for teachers and students engaged in teaching and research in agriculture & seed science. 9788179105009
