However, a significant 13% of these yields are lost to disease. The adoption of effective disease management strategies could yield substantial economic benefits, as emphasized in this book. While disease management techniques exist, their widespread implementation among producers remains limited due to various factors. These include incomplete understanding of disease incidence and severity, perceived complexities of these strategies, and a lack of information regarding their success rates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book offers an economic perspective on disease control, focusing on producer choices among alternative technologies and potential changes in cropping systems.
