Fungal diseases pose a serious threat to crop productivity. Pathogens can infect both vegetable crops in protected ground and industrial crops, such as soybeans, which requires the agronomist to have a deep understanding of the biology of the pathogens. Knowledge of the mechanisms of infection development and timely diagnosis are key factors for preserving the harvest and developing effective plant protection strategies.
This collection includes materials covering both general principles of disease prevention through seed treatment and specific protection problems for certain crops. Readers will find information here on the characteristics of leaf and stem diseases of soybeans, care methods for cucumbers in greenhouses, and breeding achievements in viticulture. An analysis of the biological characteristics of pathogens, combined with modern agrotechnical practices, will allow specialists and amateur gardeners to build a comprehensive disease control system that minimizes losses during the cultivation of agricultural produce.
