Description

Pathogens are parasitic, which means they rely on a host to live and grow. Pathogens found in soil also include nematodes, bacteria, and fungi. Root disease is caused by soil-borne pathogens, which prefer to reside in the soil. Not only can these pests hurt a plant, but they can also have an impact on the soil. Many crops are affected by their severe illnesses. Due to their close relationship with the soil, which has a significant impact on both their ability to survive and spread illness, they share a number of characteristics. The importance of fungi infecting the roots is discussed in this book, which also emphasises the important root illnesses and their symptoms. Various plant pathogenic bacteria's behaviours are also described. The morphology, naming, classification, multiplication, and translocation of numerous species are also covered in this book. The pathosystem concept, the behaviour of the soil microflora, infection reservoirs, pathogen decline processes, and integrated impacts on pathogen decline are all covered in detail in this book's explanation of the principles of biological management. Plant pathologists and soil microbiologists will both benefit greatly from this book. This book, which offers fundamental concepts and remedies for common plant diseases, will surely be read widely and frequently consulted.
