About
the Book
This book details the current status of research being
conducted worldwide on bacterial and nematode diseases of sugarcane. The
subject matter deals with new biotechnological and molecular tools for
diagnosis and characterization of bacterial and nematode pathogens and
reliable detection of these pathogens in infected samples.
Important nematode species associated with sugarcane have been described in
detail in this book. Their characterization, diversity, economic importance
and biological status have also been discussed. It will stimulate further
research on sugarcane diseases and will serve as an important reference for
students and scientists involved in sugarcane and related crops.
