The book is a comprehensive resource that delves into both fundamental and applied knowledge regarding Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, the pathogen responsible for infecting cruciferous crops and weeds. This disease has caused significant damage worldwide, with an average annual loss of cruciferous crops ranging from 10 to 15 percent at a global level. It is considered a disease of cultivation due to its ability to persist in the soil for years, spreading through field operations. Notably, P. brassicae can survive in the rhizosphere of non-host plants, both cultivated and wild, making it unique among plant pathogens.
This book provides comprehensive information on clubroot, including its geographical distribution, symptoms, host range, yield losses, and disease assessment scales. It also explores host-parasite interactions, such as seed infection, disease cycle, infection process, pathogenesis, epidemiology, and forecasting. Chapters discuss the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying host-parasite relationships, as well as management practices encompassing cultural, chemical, biological control methods, and other integrated approaches.
The book is invaluable for researchers, teachers, extension specialists, farmers, and anyone interested in cultivating healthy and profitable cruciferous crops. It serves as an additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students studying agriculture, particularly plant pathology. Additionally, national and international agricultural scientists, policy makers, and stakeholders will find this book to be a valuable resource.
