The management of crop diseases has become important throughout the world. Various methods have been advocated to manage viral. bacterial fungal and nematode diseases of various crops. The emphasis and prime importance is given on the development of resistant varieties and now it has been possible to manage the various diseases in integrated manner. But the failure of resistant gene in a variety sometimes has been observed and hence the scientists are busy to manage the diseases in biotechnological manners. The biotechnology and molecular biology has found to be of great help and developing transgenic varieties in addition to regular hybridizations. The volume on biotechnological approaches for the integrated management of crop diseases will be great help to solve the problems of crop disease management. The volume consists of 26 review articles on biotechnological approaches by very well known international scientists throughout the India on different crops. Almost all the renowned institutes of ICAR IARI ICRISAT and other universities have contributed to make this.

To meet the food demands of ever increasing human population agricultural production is being augmented through the use of new crop varieties and changed agronomic practices. These practices have enormously increased the incidence of several pests and diseases. Plant diseases cause serious threats to the successful cultivation of agricultural crops resulting in huge losses in their yields. In the recent past certain diseases have appeared in epidemic from endangering sustainability in agriculture. The destructive potential of plant diseases in modern day agriculture has increased due to the use of cultivars having narrow genetic base over large areas. Correct disease diagnosis is the prime requirement for recommending preventive or curative measures for effective disease management. Knowledge of perpetuation and spread of the pathogens and various factors affecting disease development is necessary. All the available strategies must be used in an integrated manner and a holistic approach needs to be developed for the management of major diseases of a crop. Information on latest developments in the understanding and management of plant diseases has been compiled in this publication. The book deals with diseases of important cereals pulses oilseeds sugar crops cotton and fodder crops through 23 chapters. Nematode problems of these crops have been exclusively discussed in one chapter while another deals with mycotoxin contamination in stored grains. Coloured photographs showing symptoms of important diseases are given to help in disease diagnosis. It is hoped that the book will cater to the needs of research workers teachers and students not only in the discipline of plant pathology but also in other areas of agriculture. 471 pp.
