Integrated management of diseases caused by fungi, phytoplasma and bacteria

The volume covers, in three Sections, the management of perennial and annual crop diseases. The first Section includes stone fruit and apple diseases, grapevine and fruit crops phytoplasma, Phytophthora on citrus, chestnut diseases, esca complex on grapevine and Rosellinia necatrix root rot. The second Sectionincludes models for potato late blight management and Phytophthora decision-support systems, management of bacterial fruit-blotch on cucurbits, Verticillium on tomato, Sclerotinia on carrot, cotton and rice diseases, and rusts. In the third, final Section, two innovative topics are reviewed: DNA fingerprintingdiagnostics, and management through endophytes and metabolites, a field with new perspectives in IPM. Integrated information-based reviews, divulged for application in plant protection, and disease management of key annual and perennial crops Needed for developments in environmental monitoring, quarantine, detection and modeling diseases Terms specific to the topics examined are explained in the text and figures INDICE: From the contents Section I.
