V. P. AGNIHOTRI, OM PRAKASH RAM KISHUN, A. K. MISRA Advisory Editor: K. S. BHARGAVA This Festschrift volume - Disease Scenario in Crop Plants contains 32 authoritative and thought provoking articles of both applied and fundamental value. These have been written by leading scientists in the area of their specialization. The articles in the book cover diseases of fruits (mango, guava, grapes, papaya, etc.); vegetables (potato, cu- curbits and crucifers); cereals {wheat and pearl millet); pulses (mung bean, urd bean and cowpea); oilseeds (sunflower and groundnut) and cash crops (betelvine and sugarcane). Besides, there are full chapters on recent approaches in the production of virus free potato seeds as well as on the role of fungicides, rhizobacteria and mycorrhiza in the management of plant diseases. Of special significancies chapters on toxins and the control of weeds by plant pathogens. It is our hope that articles in the book will serve as catalyst in ushering new ideas and in providing possible solutions to difficult problems in plant pathology. The information provided in the book will be of great value to the students, agriculturists, horticulturists, plant pathologists and progressive farmers.
