The information on biofumigation and solarization for the management of soil-borne plant pathogens (bacteria, fungi, nematodes, insects and weeds) in horticultural (fruits, vegetables, plantation, spice, tuber, ornamental, medicinal and aromatic crops) and other crops (cotton, wheat, tobacco, soybean, sugar beet and sunflower) is very much scattered. There is no book at present which comprehensively and exclusively deals with the above aspects on horticultural and other crops. The present book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the principles of biofumigation and solarization. The second part deals with crop-wise management of soil-borne plant pathogens using biofumigation and solarization in horticultural and other crops. The book is illustrated with excellent quality photographs enhancing the quality of publication. The book is written in lucid style, easy to understand language along with adoptable recommendations for enhancing the productivity.
