Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant Quarantine deals with alien pests which could became serious threat to our agricultural, horticultural and forest plants. Brief introduction of alien pests such as bacteria, fungi, insects, nematodes, plant viruses, etc. is given in the preliminary chapters. Risk factors involved in these pests are analyzed. Various methods available to detect these pests from imported plants and plants material and their elimination procedures are discussed. The role of legislation containing the alien pests and efforts made by governments in implementing the legislative measures are described. The global approach to prevent the spread of pests across international borders and obligation of governments are brought out. The functioning of Plant Quarantine system in India and further strengthening the system are suggested. Whenever necessary, relevant illustration are provided. The, text, tables and illustrations could be a good reference sources not only for persons engaged in Plant Quarantine organizations but also for the users of plant quarantine services. This book could also be useful in organizing training programs and could serve as a teaching aid.

Download or read book Soilborne Microbial Plant Pathogens and Disease Management Volume Two written by P. Narayanasamy and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crop disease management strategies revolve around the principles of exclusion, eradication and immunization. Cultural practices are aimed at preventing or reducing the accumulation of pathogen population (inoculum). Development of cultivars with genetic resistance by transgressing resistance gene(s) through traditional breeding procedures or biotechnological techniques is the most effective and acceptable strategy, as it is environment-friendly and does not need any additional cost to the grower. Assessment of different grades of resistance of cultivars or genotypes to soilborne microbial pathogens has been possible by quantifying pathogen populations or their DNA contents in the test plants by applying biological and molecular methods. This second volume of a two-volume set focuses on the soilborne microbial plant pathogens and the diseases caused by them. The book provides information on ecology and epidemiology of soilborne microbial plant pathogens and various strategies applicable for effective management of diseases. Chapters cover exclusion and prevention strategies; improvement of host plant resistance; biological management; application of chemicals; and integration of these disease management strategies. Features Discusses various aspects of soilborne microbial plant pathogens to develop effective methods of managing diseases. Presents information on epidemiology and ecology of soilborne microbial plant pathogens. Facilitates the application of management strategies alone or in combination with others for effective suppression of disease development. Features information on application of biotic and abiotic biological control agents (BCAs) to suppress pathogen development either by directly acting on the pathogen(s) or indirectly by enhancing host resistance to the pathogens. Employs biotic and abiotic biocontrol agents either to replace or reduce the use of chemicals is an achievable approach for managing the soilborne microbial pathogens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ensuring Global Food Safety: Exploring Global Harmonization, Second Edition, examines the policies and practices of food law which remain top contributors to food waste. This fully revised and updated edition offers a rational and multifaceted approach to the science-based issue of "what is safe for consumption?" and how creating a globally acceptable framework of microbiological, toxicological and nutritional standards can contribute to the alleviation of hunger and food insecurity in the world. Currently, many laws and regulations are so stringent that healthy food is destroyed based on scientifically incorrect information upon which laws and regulations are based. This book illuminates these issues, offering guidelines for moving toward a scientifically sound approach to food safety regulation that can also improve food security without putting consumers at risk. - Presents the progress and current status of regulatory harmonization for food standards - Provides a science-based foundation for global regulatory consensus - Approaches challenges from a risk-benefit approach, also including safety assurance - Includes global perspectives from governmental, academic and industry experts
