Summary: | "Soil borne diseases of vegetable crops are caused by a group of plant pathogens that are destructive and often difficult to control. Soil disinfectants and fungicides are used for control of soil borne diseases affecting vegetable crops. The dependence on chemical control is no longer a good option as it is frequently associated with environmental pollution and development of pesticide resistance in plant pathogens. Development of effective, economical and environmentally sound disease management strategies have become extremely important in vegetable productions under both conventional and organic farming systems. The book includes an account of the causes of plant diseases and the principles underlying their control. It provides an overview of important diseases common to many Australian vegetable crops. Casual pathogens, symptoms, source of infection, how the diseases are spread and recommended management are described for 36 major and specialty crops." |
