About this title

Synopsis

The First Comprehensive Book on Plant Pathogens and Their Management in Irrigation Systems

Plant pathogens in irrigation water pose a major threat to crops, and the cost of managing them is high. The latest comprehensive knowledge on these pathogens as well as how to detect and manage them is crucial for farms, nurseries, greenhouses, and other crop-based systems that use irrigation.

Enter Biology, Detection, and Management of Plant Pathogens in Irrigation Water, the first title of its kind. In one place, this comprehensive 420+ page book compiles biological information on the many pathogens found in irrigation water, as well as practical information needed to detect and manage these pathogens.

The combination of scientific and applied information in Biology, Detection, and Management of Plant Pathogens in Irrigation Water makes it ideal for both scientists and practitioners.

When applied, the information in this book can have a direct and positive impact on some of the biggest challenges facing global agriculture in the 21st century, such as water use efficiency, reduction of our environmental footprint, climate change, and food security through the optimal management of pathogens and water resources in irrigation systems.
