This new 3-volume set, Innovative Approaches in Diagnosis and Management of Crop Diseases, presents an abundance of new research and information on major diseases of various crops, along with new techniques and technology for the detection of plant pathogens and appropriate management strategies. Divided into three volumes and with chapters written by renowned and expert scientists working in different areas of plant pathology, the volumes cover important diseases of crops, induced by bacteria, fungi, viruses, viroids, phytoplasma, and nematodes. They address these disease challenges to commercial field and horticultural crops and their management.

Volume 1 focuses on the Mollicute class of bacteria. It looks at the detection, diagnosis, and management of phytoplasma diseases and viroids, CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing in plants for virus resistance, next-generation sequencing technologies, and more.

Volume 2 focuses on recent advances in diagnosis, detection, and management of diseases of specific crops, such as cotton, sesame, rice, wheat, millet, maize, field pea and pigeonpea, ginger and turmeric, guava, aonla, and vegetable cruciferous crops.

Volume 3: Nanomolecules and Biocontrol Agents explores the use of novel new ways to prevent and mitigate plant diseases. These include novel green nanotechnologies; biosensors; biological management using phyllosphere-, rhizosphere-, and endosphere-derived biocontrol agents; employing biofumigation techniques; and plant immunization approaches. The book also considers the special challenge of plant disease management under the present climate change scenario.

Key features:

Presents diverse research of leading plant pathologists on the detection, diagnosis, and management of crop diseases.

Shares innovative and emerging techniques for the diagnosis and management of crop diseases.

Provides a comprehensive reference for researchers, students, and professionals in plant pathology, agriculture, and horticulture.
