Fusarium is one of the important plant pathogen cause wilt disease in plants. Due to complex in nature it is very difficult to manage.

The objectives of this book is tried to include the important diseases of Fusarium on Agricultural (Field crops-Cereals/Pulses)/ Horticultural crops (Vegetable/Fruit/Flower/Bulb crops/Plantation crops). This book will help to the undergraduate as well as post graduate students to understand on different aspects of the Fusarium wilt.

There are continuous advances day by day in the field of Biology. This book will provide the plan form for the students as well as researchers related to Fusarium diseases. The chapters include history of Fusarium, almost all the important Fusarium diseases description, epidemiology and management strategies. This Book also included some chapters on the Breeding strategies for the improvement of the crops against Fusarium. In one chapter of this book, try to find out the toxins in relation to Fusarium. There is also inclusion of chapter on the probable disease management strategies by the non-pathogenic Fusarium against disease causing Fusarium.
