Description
The production and supply of good quality seed of high-yielding varieties is one of the most important requirements of modern agriculture and a challenge to seed technologists. Seeds play an important role in disseminating pathogenic organisms to areas from which, hitherto, they have been absent and seed-borne infection may be the starting point for a serious disease in the growing crop. During seed storage, the metabolic activities of microorganisms may cause even greater losses. Hence, an integrated disease management approach and suitable seed technology needs to be developed. This book "Laboratory manual on Seed Pathology" is an up-to-date knowledge and information resource on various seed technologies, including seed-borne diseases. This book is a necessary and timely reference that covers the full range of related topics, including techniques for detecting and studying microorganisms associated with seeds, their epidemiology, and control.
