Characterization, Epidemiology, and Management

Phytoplasma Diseases in Asian Countries: Characterization, Epidemiology and Management is the third volume in the Phytoplasma Diseases in Asian Countries series dedicated to the analysis of plant pathogens across Asia. Highlighting genomic studies and molecular approaches for rapid detection of phytoplasma diseases, the book discusses effective control measures for insect vectors across Asia. The chapters in this book discuss the latest biological controls and how best to manage and even eliminate phytoplasma diseases. This is an essential read for students, researchers and agriculturalists interested in plant pathology. Phytoplasma are microorganisms that are transmitted by insect vectors, infecting various different types of annuals and perennials and causing serious damage to crops across Asia. Highlights the latest advances in diagnostic technologies Includes up-to-date information on genome sequencing of important phytoplasma strains across Asia Discusses the epidemiology and management of phytoplasma-associated disease INDICE: 1.
