After
self-sufficiency in food production, major focus of
modern agriculture in India is on diversification,
and horticultural crops have become an important component
of diversified agriculture. Similarly, systematic
management of forests is also the need of the hour
in view of dwindling forest cover in this age of development
and urbanization. Apart from other constraints, appearance
of disease problems especially in horticultural crops
has posed a serious threat in their successful cultivation.
Epidemics of scab and premature leaf fall in apple,
mango malformation, bacterial wilt of solanaceous
vegetables and ginger rhizome rot have challenged
the growers in the recent past, apart from large scale
drying of shisham and kikar in northern India.
This book is based on a symposium on ‘Challenging
Problems in Horticultural and Forest Pathology’
held on November, 2003 at Dr. Y.S. Parmar University
of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan in which
the experts highlighted the major disease problems
inflicting horticultural and forest crops. Challenging
disease problems of major fruits, vegetables, mushrooms
and forest crops caused by fungal, bacterial and viral
pathogens are elaborated in this book along with available
management technology. Recent developments in disease
diagnosis by molecular methods, and sanitary and phyto-sanitary
issues for trade in horticultural crops are also included.
It is hoped that this book will be beneficial to the
users including policy-makers, horticulturists, teachers
and students.
