Plant Pathology deals with the cause, etiology, resulting losses and
control or management of the plant diseases. The book contains contents as
follows : Importance of plant diseases, scope and objectives of Plant Pathology,
History of Plant Pathology with special reference to Indian work, Terms and
concepts in Plant Pathology, Pathogenesis, classification of plant diseases,
Causes of Plant Disease Biotic (fungi, bacteria, fastidious vesicular bacteria,
Phytoplasmas, spiroplasmas, viruses, viroids, algae, protozoa, and nematodes )
and abiotic causes with examples of diseases caused by them, Study of
phanerogamic plant parasites, Symptoms of plant diseases, Fungi: general
characters, definition of fungus, somatic structures, types of fungal thalli,
fungal tissues, modifications of thallus, Reproduction in fungi, Nomenclature,
Binomial system of nomenclature, rules of nomenclature, Classification of fungi.
Key to divisions, sub-divisions, orders and classes, Bacteria and mollicutes:
general morphological characters, Basic methods of classification and
reproduction in bacteria, Viruses: nature, architecture, multiplication and
transmission, Nematodes: General morphology and reproduction, classification of
nematode Symptoms and nature of damage caused by plant nematodes, Principles and
methods of plant disease management, Nature, chemical combination,
classification of fungicides and antibiotics, Mode of action and formulations of
fungicides and antibiotics.

Plant Pathology is a branch of agricultural science that
deals with the study of fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, and other microbes
that cause diseases of plants.The contents in this notes are as follows :
Importance of Plant Disease, Scope and Objective of Plant Pathology, History of
Plant Pathology with special reference to Indian work, Concepts and terms in
Plant Pathology, Important Plant Pathogenic Organisms, Pathogenesis, Factors
Affecting Disease Development, Disease Triangle and Tetrahedron, Classification
of Plant Diseases, Abiotic Diseases and their management, General Characters of
fungi, Bacteria and mollicutes, Phytoplasma ,Spiroplasma ,Nematode,Viroids and
Algae, Virus, Phanerogamic plant parasites, Classification, Morphology and
Symptoms caused by Plant parasitic nematodes, Dispersal and survival of the
Plant pathogens, Pathogenesis-role of enzyme, toxin, growth regulators in
disease development, Defense mechanism in plant, Epidemiology: Factor affecting
disease development, Fungicides nature, chemical combinations and
formulationsFungicides Classification and Their Mode of Action, Antibiotics.

This book is specially written for
researchers at various levels, for example, in forestry, agriculture, industry,
university and college laboratories. It describes the fungal pathogenicity,
resistance behavior of fungal biofilms and its mechanisms, different categories
of fungal infection and colonization patterns with example relevant to soybean,
characteristics of white rob of corncob and head smut of maize such as cycle,
pathogenicity factors, control methods, the abilities of chitosan and its
derivatives to elicit resistance reactions in plants and its action in the
production and viability of fungal spores, and the mode of actions of single
constituents of different essential oils depending on different case studies.
