The
book deals with the diseases of primarily cultivated
annual oilseeds i.e., rapeseed-mustard, groundnut, linseed,
castor, safflower, sesame, sunflower and niger-seed.
This book has been prepared to update the world’s
achievements of the 20th century in disease management
strategies of oilseed crops. The book includes the diseases
of economic importance caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses,
viriods, phytoplasma and nematodes of each crop. Each
disease is covered under sub-headings i.e., history,
geographical distribution, losses incurred, symptoms,
diagnostic technique, disease cycle, epidemiology, resistant
sources and integrated disease management approaches
including, cultural, chemical, and biocontrol agents
being adopted world over. In addition to this, latest
approaches like molecular advancement in disease management,
development of disease-resistant cultivars through biotechnological
approaches, export and import of oilseeds for breeding
programmes after the imposition of WTO to produce disease-free
quality seed through strict phytosanitary measures have
been discussed.
The chapters are vividly illustrated with coloured photographs
of typical symptoms and drawings to make the disease
cycle more interesting and easy to understand by UG
and PG students, scientists, planners, administrators,
growers and other end-users with latest pertinent references.
The book includes latest diagnostic tools and management
strategies of almost all economically important diseases
of oilseed crops at one place. |

G.S. Saharan, Ex Professor and Head, Department
of Plant Pathology, CCSHAU, Hisar, had been a visiting
Professor to the University of Alberta, Edmonton,
Canada, Agriculture Canada, Saskatoon, and Rothamsted,
IACR, Harpenden, U.K. He has more than 200 research
papers in journals of national and international repute;
25 review articles in books, monographs on White rust,
Alternaria blight, Downy mildew diseases of rapeseed-mustard
and Sclerotinia diseases of crops; three books and
three biblio-graphies. He is one of the specialists
to contribute in the release of Crop Protection Compendium,
2002, CAB International, U.K. He had been President
of Indian Phytopathological Society (NZ) during 2001
and Editor-in-Chief of Indian Society of Mycology
and Plant Pathology (1999-2002).
Dr. Naresh Mehta, Professor of Plant Pathology
and gold medalist, has conducted research in diverse
fields of Plant Pathology covering patho-genic variability,
genetics of host-pathogen interaction, epidemiological
studies, identification of resistant sources, biochemical/genetical
basis for resistance, residual analysis of fungicides
and management strategies of different diseases. He
has published more than 70 research papers in journals
of national and international repute; eleven review
articles in books/manual, and about 35 popular articles.
He has written two manuals: 'Introductory Plant
Pathology', and 'Crop Diseases and Their
Management'. He had been a visiting scientist
to University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada in 1999
as a FAO fellow and presented research paper in 8th
International Congress of Plant Pathology at Christchurch,
New Zealand in 2002.
Dr. M.S. Sangwan, Sr. Plant Pathologist,
has conducted research in diverse fields of Plant
Pathology ranging from pathogenic variability, gene-tics
of host-pathogen interaction, epidemiology, identification
of sources of resistant, biochemical/genetical basis
of resistance, disease-free seed pro-duction and management
strategies of different diseases. He has published
more than 50 research papers in journals of national
and international repute; seven review articles in
books/manual, and about 10 popular articles. He is
also co-author in preparing two manuals: 'Introductory
Plant Pathology', and 'Crop Diseases and
