Plant Breeding and Cultivar Development features an optimal balance between classical and modern tools and techniques related to plant breeding. Written for a global audience and based on the extensive international experience of the authors, the book features pertinent examples from major and minor world crops. Advanced data analytics (machine learning), phenomics and artificial intelligence are explored in the book's 28 chapters that cover classical and modern plant breeding. By presenting these advancements in specific detail, private and public sector breeding programs will learn about new, effective and efficient implementation.
The insights are clear enough that non-plant breeding majoring students will find it useful to learn about the subject, while advanced level students and researchers and practitioners will find practical examples that help them implement their work.
Bridges the gap between conventional breeding practices and state-of-the-art technologies Provides real-world case studies of a wide range of plant breeding techniques and practices Combines insights from genetics, genomics, breeding science, statistics, computer science and engineering for crop improvement and cultivar development

Plant diseases cause yield loss in crop production, poor quality of produce, and great economic losses as well. Knowledge of the perpetuation and spread of the pathogens and various factors affecting disease development is an important need. Disease diagnosis is the prime requirement for determining preventive or curative measures for effective disease management. This new 2-volume set, Diseases of Field Crops, helps to fill the need for research on plant diseases, their effects, how they spread, and effective management measures to mitigate their harmful consequences.The volumes in this set showcase recent advances in molecular plant pathology and discuss appropriate diagnostic techniques for identification of causal agents and diseases, providing the information necessary to establish management strategies. The chapters in these two volumes include detailed description of symptoms, causal organisms, disease cycles, epidemiology, and management techniques of economically important diseases. The volumes explore existing strategies and offer new methods that can be used in an integrated manner and with a comprehensive approach for the management of major diseases of the field crops. Also taken into consideration is the impact of global climate change on the spread and severity of plant diseases.This volume focuses on a selection of cereal crops or grains for fodder and human food and the diseases that affect them. The crops include rice, maize, wheat, millet, sorghum, jute, and more. Volume 2 covers pulses, oil seeds, narcotics, and sugar crops.

Vegetables serve as an essential source of vital nutrients, including dietary fibers, minerals, antioxidants, and vitamins. The growing awareness of their medicinal and nutritional value has led to increased production worldwide, with China currently ranked as the top producer, at approximately 237 million tons. India's vegetable production for the year 2009-10 was approximately 90 million tons. Although pesticides can be valuable tools in sustainable vegetable production, their irresponsible use often poses hazards to producers, consumers, and the environment. Furthermore, their excessive use can lead to pest and disease resistance, as well as the suppression of natural biological control mechanisms. This book aims to promote the integration of appropriate chemical, cultural, physical, genetic, and biological technologies into IPM strategies for vegetable crop protection.

Vegetables serve as a crucial source of essential nutrients, including dietary fibers, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. The increasing awareness of the significance of vegetables in maintaining human health has led to a rise in their production worldwide. China currently holds the top position globally, producing approximately 237 million tons of vegetables annually. In India, the production of vegetables during the year 2009-10 amounted to around 90 million tons.While pesticides play a vital role in sustainable vegetable production, their improper use can result in negative consequences for both the environment and human health. Overuse of pesticides can lead to resistance in pests and diseases, and can also harm natural enemies that provide biological control. This book aims to promote the integration of appropriate chemical, cultural, physical, genetic, and biological technologies into IPM strategies for the protection of vegetable crops.
