Preface
Approximately 6.6 billion humans now inhabit the Earth. Notably, the human
population has grown nearly ten-fold over the past three centuries and has increased
by a factor of four in the last century. Therefore, demand for food, feed and fodder
is ever increasing.
Plant diseases worldwide are responsible for billions of dollars worth of crop
losses every year. Productivity of crops is at risk due to the incidence of pests,
pathogens and animal pests. Crop losses to pests can be substantial and may be
reduced by various control activities. Estimates on the crop loss are available for
major food and cash crops on the world level. Among crops the total loss potential
of pests world-wide varies from 25 to 40%. Globally, enormous losses of the crops
are caused by the plant diseases, which can occur from the time of seed sowing in
the field to harvesting and storage. Important historical evidences of plant disease
epidemics are Irish Famine due to late blight of potato (Ireland, 1845), Bengal
famine due to brown spot of rice (India, 1942) and Coffee rust (Sri Lanka, 1967).
Such epidemics had left their effect on the economy of the affected countries and
deep scar on the memories of human civilization.
Plant diseases, caused primarily by fungal and bacterial pathogens, cause losses
of agricultural and horticultural crops every year. These losses can result in reduced
food supplies, poorer quality of agricultural products, economic hardship for growers
and processor and results ultimately in higher prices for the consumers. For many
diseases, traditional chemical control methods are not always economical nor are
they effective, and fumigation as well as other chemical control methods may have
unwanted health, safety and environmental risks.
Biological control involves use of beneficial micro-organism, such as specialised
fungi and bacteria to attack and control plant pathogens and diseases they cause.
Biological control offers an environmental friendly approach to the management of
plant diseases and can be incorporated in to cultural and physical controls and
limited chemical uses for an effective integrated pest management system. Due to
the high cost of synthetic pesticides and concerns over environmental pollution
associated with the continuous use of these chemicals, there is a renewed interest in
the use of botanicals and biological control agents for crop protection. Benefits and

Preface
risks are always associated with new technologies and their utilization. These types
of considerations have encouraged microbiologists and plant pathologists to gain a
better knowledge of biocontrol agents, to understand their mechanism of control
and to explore new biotechnological approaches to induce natural resistance. This
book provides a comprehensive account of interaction of host and its abiotic stress
factors and biotic pathogens, and development of biological control agents for
practical applications in crops and tree species, from temperate to subtropical
regions. The contents are divided into the following sections:
General biology of parasitism
Applications of biological and natural agents for disease resistance
Host parasite interaction
Mechanism of defence
The chapters have been written by well known workers in their research field.
The book is primarily designed for use by upper undergraduates and post
graduates studying crop protection, agricultural sciences, applied entomology,
plant pathology, and plant sciences. Biological and agricultural research scientists in
biotechnology, forestry, plant pathology and post harvest technology, crop management and environmental sciences, agrochemical and crop protection industries, and
in academia, will find much of great use in this book. Libraries in all universities
and research establishments where agricultural and biological sciences are studied
and taught should have multiple copies of this very valuable book on their shelves.
The editors wish to thank all the contributors and staff of the Springer for their
cooperation in completion of this book.
