About the Book
The control of diseases in crops is still to a great extent ruled by the utilization of fungicides, however with the expanding occurrence of fungicide protection, in addition to mounting worry for the earth coming about because of exorbitant agrochemical utilize, the scan for elective, solid strategies for disease control is picking up force. The motivation behind this essential book is to look at the advancement and misuse (or potential for abuse) of a scope of non-substance ways to deal with disease control, with an attention on the requirement for a more noteworthy comprehension of product biology as the reason for powerful disease control in the field. Sections in the book, composed by worldwide specialists in the branch of knowledge, incorporate scope of: organic control strategies; have plant protection; the misuse of resistance; also, the utilization of bacteriophages.
