Advances in Plant Disease Management Volume II

Advances in Plant Disease Management: Volume II: Strategic and Applied Research is an invaluable compilation for researchers/students/stakeholders/policymakers in agriculture. This book aims to offer the latest understanding of how fundamental and basic research can be translated toward the engineering of biotic stress-resilient crops through applied and strategic management of plant diseases. Volume I clearly explained the updated knowledge on basic and applied phenomena of pathogenâs interplay with the host, the host immune system, crosstalks among downstream regulating molecules as unraveled through genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, and molecular studies. This volume of the book equips readers with the knowledge and understanding to confidently employ this basic information in the formulation of management strategies for major crop plant diseases.

This book offers comprehensive coverage of the research advances in plant disease management, including:

• Newer insight into pest risk analysis (PRA) and its significance in international trade.
• Developments in eco-friendly green technologies that are safe for both humans and the environment to manage diseases.
• Use of AI tools for diagnosis, development of models for advanced prediction of the outbreak of epidemics, and need-based application of agrochemicals and their appropriate formulations for use through drones.
• The information regulation and use of biostimulants for biotic and abiotic resilience.
• Plant protection policies that support the agricultural production system from a global perspective.
