India is progressing fast in agricultural education, research and extension. Plant pathology is being taught as a compulsory subject in undergraduate courses and is one of the specialized subject in post graduate courses. Due to the up gradations of the 5th Dean’s Committee’s Recommendations, the B.Sc (Hons) Agriculture syllabus has been completely revised and has rendered existing textbooks obsolete or incomplete for students. This gap in knowledge has created a wonderful opportunity for me to present updated textbooks to students for their syllabus requirements. The purpose of writing this book is to provide the basic and emerging facts whereby the students may be introduced to the scientific foundation of this noble course called Diseases of Field and Horticultural Crops and their Management. In the present book, an attempt has been made to arrange the topics and the contents in such a manner that students get an easy reading with due continuity and thus understanding.
