Microbes, including fungi, are always adapting to different
environmental conditions and phytopathologists are continually faced with the
management of new diseases and the resurgence of old ones.
Amidst growing
concerns about the environment and food security, the development of management
strategies that minimize crop losses and promote sustainable agriculture is
increasingly important.
Management of Fungal Plant Pathogens presents a review
of research into pathogenic fungi in a diverse selection of economically
important crops, including fruits and cereals.
The establishment and management
of fungal plant disease using conventional and ecofriendly methods is discussed
with an emphasis on the use of microorganisms and biotechnology. Chapters also
examine the role of microbes in growth promotion, bioprotectors and
bioremediators and presents practical strategies for using microbes as well as
botanicals in sustainable agriculture.
