| General note |
Description:<br/>The book is divided into different sections to facilitate the readers to get in touch with the subject of their interest. The sections though self-explanatory have been divided crop-wise with further classification according to causal organisms. Since mushrooms are a developing industry, a section has been added on that too. This book will provide an insight into the pathological problems of different crops and help the reader to have broader view of different scientific method s being used to manage them.<br/>Contents:<br/>1.
