Overview
This book reviews research into pathogenic fungi in a diverse selection of economically important crops, including fruits and cereals. The establishment and management of fungal plant diseases, using conventional and ecofriendly methods is discussed with an emphasis on the use of microorganisms and biotechnology. Chapters also examine the role of microbes in growth promotion, as bioprotectors and bioremediators and presents practical strategies for using microbes as well as botanicals in sustainable agriculture. Providing knowledge of plant-pathogen interactions, management strategies and techniques, this will be a useful resource for students, researchers and extension workers in biology and plant pathology.

Dr. Arun Arya is actively engaged in researches in the area of Plant Pathology, Fungal Taxonomy, Physiology and Biodeterioration. He has reported three new species of Phomopsis and several new fruit rot diseases. Possible control measures for these are suggested. For the first time different fungi have been reported by his research group from objects like paper, cloth and Egyptian mummy kept in Baroda Museum and Picture Gallery. Eco-friendly plant parts obtained from rhizome, leaf and flower extracts were used to control different fungal pathogens. He has studied the indoor aeromycoflora of different museums of Gujarat.
