Control of Plant Diseases, evident from the title, imparts information on the various methods of control of plant disease.

The main topics discussed are: Soil treatment, Fungicidal effects on Pathogens, Nematocidal Control, Cultural practices in Disease Control, Physical and Chemotherapeutic Action.

Authored by a seasoned Professor, specialising the field, this book will prove useful and informative to the students, researchers and teachers in the field of botany and plant pathology besides the scientists, and horticulturists in the field.

Infectious Fungi, as is clear from the title, imparts information on various species of fungi, found infectious.

The main topics discussed are: Infectious Fungi: fungus Infections on Insects, autotrophic Root-Infecting Fungi, saprophytic root-Infecting Fungi, root Infecting Fungi in Infected or Colonised Host Tissues, Fungi as Decomposers of Leaves, Fungi as Decomposers of Wood, Chemical treatment of Fungi.

Authored by a seasoned Professor, specialising the field, this book will prove useful and informative to the students, researchers and teachers in the field of botany and plant pathology besides the scientists, and horticulturists in the field.

Recent Advances in Plant Disease synthesizes modern information to provide a stimulating and important new view of interaction between plants and pathogens causing diseases. The objective is to introduce to students the essential principles for understanding various aspects of pathogens and their related plant diseases. Moreover, the book is addressed primarily to advanced students and research scholars who have had training in one or other of the plant diseases. It also contains much which will arouse the interest of the innovating farmer. Several disease problems still remain unrecognized and have not been able to attract attentions because of the uneconomic plants being attacked by them presently. However considerable work is being undertaken by scientists within the country on various aspects of such uneconomic plants. An attempt has been made therefore, to bring together as much information as possible including effects on the plant in pathogenicity trials. Wherever possible, some details on morphology and biology have been given for a better understanding of pathogen and diseases caused by them. Efforts have also been made to condense the matter as far as practicable. The set features both a text and a laboratory guide.

This work consists of following volumes:
1. Non-Parasitic Diseases
2. Fungal Diseases
3. Bacterial Diseases in Plants
4. Viral Diseases in Plants
5. Plant Nematodes.

Non-Parasitic Diseases synthesises latest information to provide a stimulating, a new and important approach to interaction between plants and pathogens causing diseases.

Contents of the volume include: Environmental doctors that cause; Plant Diseases; Micro-organism in Soil; Diseases Due to unfavourable Soil Conditions; Diseases Due to Industrial Processes; Chemical Injuries in Plants; Freezing Injury in Plants; Physiology of Wilt-Disease.

Written in simple and interesting style-this book will prove useful and informative to researchers, teachers and scientists in the field besides laboratory technicians, field workers and concerned persons.
