Chapters are largely independent so that the teacher may choose the desired topic. The level of presentation will be comfortable to teachers as well as students. Plant Pathology examines the host-pathogen interactions in the light of new tools and techniques of molecular biology and genetics. Scope of integrating microbial biopesticides in the management of pathogens, pests and weeds of agriculture and forestry has been evaluated. This Encyclopaedia continues to provide a comprehensive introduction to plant diseases including bacterial, fungal and viral agents that cause them. This encyclopaedia outlines how to recognize, treat, and prevent plant diseases.
