About the Book
Diseases are most limiting factor in vegetable production. There has been a demand from progressive vegetable growers, plant protection officials, agriculture advisors, private seed companies, subject matter specialist and research scholars since long for a comprehensive colour compendium on vegetable diseases. In absence of such compendium, identification is still difficult by the personnel engaged in different activities of vegetable production. Effective management packages cannot be advocated in absence of detailed symptomatology and pathological information. No compendium on diseases of vegetable crops is available so far with complete knowledge and information in India. Keeping this in view a colour technical bulletin entitled compendium of Vegetable diseases has been prepared. Different important diseases of vegetables caused by fungi, bacteria, phytoplasma, viruses and nematodes have been covered with information on common name of disease, pathogen name, symptoms, epidemiology and control measures. It has been prepared to assist clear diagnosis of the diseases and planning of integrated management strategy for sustainability of vegetable production. Considering the necessity of environmental safety, pesticide residue problem and cost-effective protection of the crop, it is desired to develop integrated disease management schedule for the whole year. The identification and management strategies advocated in this bulletin will serve the present and future need of vegetable producer for long-term efficacy and sustainability. We hope that this technical bulletin will serve to all needy personnel directly or indirectly related to vegetable production.
