Plant Pathology deals with the cause, etiology, resulting losses and
control or management of the plant diseases. The book contains contents as
follows : Importance of plant diseases, scope and objectives of Plant Pathology,
History of Plant Pathology with special reference to Indian work, Terms and
concepts in Plant Pathology, Pathogenesis, classification of plant diseases,
Causes of Plant Disease Biotic (fungi, bacteria, fastidious vesicular bacteria,
Phytoplasmas, spiroplasmas, viruses, viroids, algae, protozoa, and nematodes )
and abiotic causes with examples of diseases caused by them, Study of
phanerogamic plant parasites, Symptoms of plant diseases, Fungi: general
characters, definition of fungus, somatic structures, types of fungal thalli,
fungal tissues, modifications of thallus, Reproduction in fungi, Nomenclature,
Binomial system of nomenclature, rules of nomenclature, Classification of fungi.
Key to divisions, sub-divisions, orders and classes, Bacteria and mollicutes:
general morphological characters, Basic methods of classification and
reproduction in bacteria, Viruses: nature, architecture, multiplication and
transmission, Nematodes: General morphology and reproduction, classification of
nematode Symptoms and nature of damage caused by plant nematodes, Principles and
methods of plant disease management, Nature, chemical combination,
classification of fungicides and antibiotics, Mode of action and formulations of
fungicides and antibiotics.

This book is specially written for
researchers at various levels, for example, in forestry, agriculture, industry,
university and college laboratories. It describes the fungal pathogenicity,
resistance behavior of fungal biofilms and its mechanisms, different categories
of fungal infection and colonization patterns with example relevant to soybean,
characteristics of white rob of corncob and head smut of maize such as cycle,
pathogenicity factors, control methods, the abilities of chitosan and its
derivatives to elicit resistance reactions in plants and its action in the
production and viability of fungal spores, and the mode of actions of single
constituents of different essential oils depending on different case studies.
The purpose of this book is to treat
the subject of disease in plants with special reference to the patient itself,
and to describe the symptoms it exhibits and the course of the malady, with only
such references to the agents which induce or cause disease as are necessary to an intelligent understanding of the subject,
and of the kind of treatment called for.
