The Versatile Visionary Symphony of Leadership, Science and Enterprise
An autobiography of Dr. B. Vasantharaj David having 7 decades of experience in leading scientific and multinational agrochemical companies, and discovery in science and expertise in crop protection and toxicology and institutions building to be inspirational to the future young generation. He has been responsible for the development of Fredrick Institute of Plant Protection and Toxicology (Presently International Institute of Biotechnology & Toxicology and Jai Research Foundation, Gujarat. He discovered about 250 new species of whiteflies and an international expert in this group of insects. His wide experience with agrochemical industry particularly in product development helped the industr...
The Use of Humic Acid in Nematode Management
Phytonematodes are small microscopic invertebrate animals living in the soil as parasites of many plants. Many plant-parasitic nematodes establish strong host-parasitic relations with major food, fruit, vegetable, and allied crops, resulting in a drastic yield loss globally. To control or manage these nematode menaces, farmers or growers use toxic fumigants, as well as non-fumigant chemical nematicides frequently. It is necessary to adopt eco-friendly products to tackle the nematode problem. This book explains the nature of nematodes, the role of organic methods and organic acids in nematode control, and the role of humic acid in agriculture, plant disease control, phytonematode control, nematode control. It also details the success of research trials on phytonematode control using humic acid on banana and citrus nematodes, as well as its compatibility with available biocontrol agents and its future prospects.
Plant RNA Viruses
Plant RNA Viruses: Molecular Pathogenesis and Management provides wide-ranging coverage on the recognition and signaling events between plants and RNA viruses. The book examines the molecular biology of signaling, host-virus interaction, RNA virus diversity, and how plants and cellular pathogens interact. Sections cover Virus Diversity and Diagnosis, Virus-Host Interactions and Virus Management. Specific chapters discuss classification and nomenclature of viruses, detail the molecular characteristics of viral genomes, highlight the viral manipulation of cellular key regulatory systems for successful virus infection, and discuss the movement of plant viruses into plant cells. Additional topic...
Science of Wood Degradation and its Protection
This edited book covers all aspects of wood degradation from its formation and growing in trees to its end usages when it is put into human usage. Wood is an age-old traditional fascinating material with a sensory-rich immersive experience that kindles aesthetics and creativity. The utility, durability, and functionality of wood render it a cosmopolitan material. It constitutes an integral part of human lives from ancient times to modern societies being used by various sectors viz., construction, furniture, panel products, paper and pulp, sports goods, agricultural implements, etc., Wood, being a biological material, is susceptible to degradation both by physical and biological means, and th...
Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are considered enormously important in contemporary agriculture and horticulture due to their important role in nutrient, biotic and abiotic stress management apart from enhancing plant health and soil fertility. AMF is one of the important fungi for soil aggregation, which helps in drought management. Hence this book brings out an exclusive text on AMF for sustainable rice production. It provides comprehensive up-to-date knowledge on AMF in rice cultivation, and for sustainable rice production in different ecologies without damaging the environment. Salient Features: 1. Covers all the aspects of AMF in rice cultivation from diversity to applications 2. Documents AMF diversity based on metagenomic approach in rice ecosystems 3. Explains the importance of AMF in soil aggregation, which helps in drought management 4. Provides new unraveling knowledge about AMF for sustainable rice production in different ecologies without damaging the environment 5. Discusses the AMF role in induction of resistance in rice plants against some pests.
India
This book looks at the long history of the Church in India, and then at its various current manifestations: ◦The ancient Eastern churches ◦The newer churches, often of Western origin, some arising out of Victorian missions, some very modern ◦The Christian NGOs ◦The crypto-Christians who may be Hindus so far as the census forms are concerned, but who actually are devoted to Christ.
Ecology and Evolution of Plant-feeding Insects in Natural and Man-made Environments
17 distinguished entomologists and insect ecologists dicuss contemporary ecological and evolutionary issues relative to plant-feeding insects in the area of host finding and quality, host plant resistance, community structure and behavior, ecology of mutualistic and disease agents, and evolution.
