Diseases of Cereals & Pulses : Mangement Practices
Severe yield losses have
been occurred in cereal and pulse crops due to various diseases. The assessment
of crop yield losses and management practices are needed for the improvement of
production systems that contribute to food security worldwide. But due to
indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides environmental pollution become a
major concern. Keeping this in view, it has become necessary for integrated
disease management strategies, where all the components of management should be
included with least cost and less damage to the environment.
“Diseases of Cereals and
Pulses : Management Practices” is a compilation of 13 chapters which addresses
the issues of important diseases, etiological factors, epidemiology and
integrated management strategies of various diseases caused by fungal,
bacterial, viral pathogens as well as nematodes. This book also describes
insect pest infestations in major cereals and pulses; and the development of
transgenic for disease resistance. This
book will be utilized by researchers, teachers, students as well as government
policy makers.
