Plant disease management necessitates a foundational comprehension of the pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, Mycoplasma, or any other microorganisms that cause plant diseases. In the book Illustrated Plant Pathology--Basic Concepts, the authors provide a comprehensive overview of the various pathogenic microorganisms responsible for causing plant diseases. This includes their classification, life cycle, mode of survival, spread, and infection, as well as the factors that contribute to epidemics. Additionally, the book covers disease surveillance, methods of disease control, plant protection chemicals, plant protection appliances, and other relevant aspects of plant disease management.
The book also discusses the management of seed-borne, soil-borne, and foliar diseases, the use of plant products in disease management, and biological approaches to disease management. Numerous illustrations have been included to enhance the readers understanding of the text. The book is intended for students of agriculture, but it will also be highly beneficial for individuals working in the agricultural department and those interested in scientific agriculture.
