Generally, chemical control methods are neither always economical nor are they effective and may have associated unwanted health, safety and environmental risks.

This book provides a comprehensive account of interaction of host and its pathogens, induced host resistance, development of biological control agents for practical applications, the underlying mechanism and signal transduction. The book is useful to all those working in academia or industry related to crop protection.
