Plant Protection In Medicinal And Aromatic Plants
Ebook (EPUB Format)
Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) form one of the important groups due to their demand in various cosmetic, food, flavoring, perfumery and pharmaceutical industries and also to earn foreign exchange by way of export. The area under cultivation of MAPs is low, but the cash returns are high because of intensive cropping. More than three quarters of the world's population relies mainly on plants and plant extracts for health care. The aromatic plants provide raw material for the production of flavors, herbal cosmetics, perfumery etc. Pests (insect, mite and nematode pests, and diseases caused by fungi, bacteria and virus) are one of the impor…

Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) form one of the important groups due to their demand in various cosmetic, food, flavoring, perfumery and pharmaceutical industries and also to earn foreign exchange by way of export. The area under cultivation of MAPs is low, but the cash returns are high because of intensive cropping. More than three quarters of the world's population relies mainly on plants and plant extracts for health care. The aromatic plants provide raw material for the production of flavors, herbal cosmetics, perfumery etc. Pests (insect, mite and nematode pests, and diseases caused by fungi, bacteria and virus) are one of the important limiting factors in the production of medicinal and aromatic crops. Monoculture, the characteristic feature of these crops, provides congenial environment for one or the other pest, the population of which if unchecked may touch an alarmingly high level and may even wipe out the whole crop. The information on pests, diseases and nematodes on medicinal and aromatic crops is very much scattered. There is no book at present which comprehensively and exclusively deals with the above aspects on these crops. The present book deals with pest, disease and nematode management in medicinal and aromatic plants in detail using regulatory, physical, cultural, chemical, biological, host plant resistance and integrated methods. The book is extensively 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 involving eco-friendly components of IPM. This book is a practical guide to growers of medicinal and aromatic crops. Further, it is a useful reference book to policy makers, researchers and extension workers. The book can be used for teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses as well.

D. degree jointly from the University of Florida, USA and the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore. Dr. Reddy served as the Director of the prestigious Indian Institute of Horticultural Research ( IIHR) at Bangalore from 1999 to 2002 during which period the Institute was honoured with ICAR Best Institution Award. He also served as the Head, Division of Entomology and Nematology at IIHR and gave tremendous impetus and direction to research, extension and education in bio-intensive integrated pest management in horticultural crops. These technologies are being practiced widely by the farmers across the country since they are effective, economical, eco-friendly and residue-free. Dr. Reddy has about 34 years of experience working with horticultural crops and involved in developing an F1 tomato hybrid Arka Varadan resistant to root-knot nematodes. He has also developed bio-intensive integrated pest management strategies in horticultural crops using eco-friendly components such as bio-control agents, botanicals and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.Dr. Reddy has over 237 scientific publications to his credit, which also include four books on Plant Nematology, A Treatise on Phytonematology, Integrated Pest Management in Horticultural Ecosystems and Advances in IPM for Horticultural crops. He has also guided two Ph. D. students at the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore.Dr. Reddy served as a member of the Research Advisory Committee of the National Centre for Integrated Pest Management, New Delhi; the National Research Centre for Citrus, Nagpur and the Project Directorate of Biological Control, Bangalore. He also served as a Member of the ICAR Scientific Panel for Nematology, Member, QRT to review the progress of AICRP on Nematodes and AINRP on Betelvine. He is the Honorary Fellow of the Society for Plant Protection Sciences, New Delhi, Fellow of the Indian Phytopathological Society, New Delhi and Founder President of the Association for Advancement of Pest Management in Horticultural Ecosystems (AAPMHE), Bangalore. Dr. Reddy has organized Fourth International Workshop on Biological Control and Management of Chromolaena odorata, National Seminar on Hitech Horticulture, First National Symposium on Pest Management in Horticultural Crops:Environmental Implications and Thrusts and Second National Symposium on Pest Management in Horticultural Crops: New Molecules and Biopesticides. Dr. Reddy has been awarded with the prestigious AAPMHE Award, Prof. H.M. Shah Award and Hexamar Agricultural Research and Development Foundation Award for his unstinted efforts in developing sustainable, bio-intensive and eco-friendly integrated pest management strategies in horticultural crops.
