Cultural Practices and Infectious Crop Diseases

More about the book

Focusing on the intricate relationship between pathogens and crop health, this book explores how cultural practices influence agricultural outcomes. It delves into the complexities of how factors like tillage and irrigation affect root development, nutrient uptake, and overall plant health, which in turn impacts disease susceptibility. By examining traditional and modern farming practices, the author aims to rationalize these methods and evaluate their role in integrated disease management, highlighting the long-standing interplay between human agency and crop health.
