Opis: Pests and Pathogens - V Reddy

The need and demand to feed the ever-increasing global population, pose major challenges for increasing crop productivity in eco-friendly manner. Cultivation of crops under input-intensive conditions resulted in enhanced vulnerability of the high-yielding cultivars to a multitude of pests and pathogens at all phenological stages. Disease spectrum and intensity are continuously changing because of the dynamic nature of crop systems, pests and pathogens. Thus, disease management has become the major functional component of the crop production systems. Topics Covered Insect Pests / Pathogens of Rice, Sorghum, Chickpea and Castor and their Management; Molecular Marker-assisted Breeding and Transgenic Crops for Disease Management; Management of Forest Insect Pests; Effect of Climate Change on Insects, Pathogens, Plants and Pesticide usage; Botanicals & Microbial Pesticides and Insect Resistance; Integrated Pest Management and Bioinformatics' Solutions.1.
