Macrophomina phaseolina: Ecobiology, Pathology and Management provides important insights into the sustainable prevention and treatment of this wide-spread challenge to plant health. With focus on the agricultural as well as non-food plant challenges of M. phaseolina, the book highlights diverse approaches and provides central insights. Macrophomina phaseolina?(Tassi) Goid a soil-borne fungus present all over the world causes charcoal rot, stem and root rot, and seedling blight in more than 500 plant species belonging to about 100 families. The pathogen?M. phaseolina?affects the fibrovascular system of the roots and basal internodes of its host, impeding the transport of water and nutrients to the upper parts of the plant resulting progressive wilting, premature drying and dying, loss of vigour, and reduced yield. Macrophomina phaseolina: Ecobiology, Pathology and Management explores the interaction of M. phaseolina with soil, microbes and ecological conditions to control disease-causing strategies. Recognizing the necessity that strategies applied to manage the disease should have no or minimum effect on ecological resources, the book focuses on alternative sustainable management technologies such mix-cropping, use of antagonistic bacteria and fungi and microbial biosurfactants, plant growth promoting antagonistic rhizobacteria and demonstrates how cultural practices may also play an important role. Researchers, academics, and industry experts will find this reference valuable.
