The information on pests, diseases and nematode pests on ornamental, medicinal, aromatic and tuber crops is very much scattered. There is no book at present which comprehensively and exclusively deals with the above aspects on these crops. The present book deals with integrated pest, disease and nematode management in ornamental, medicinal, aromatic and tuber crops in detail using regulatory, physical, cultural, chemical, biological, host plant resistance and integrated methods. This book is a practical guide to growers of ornamental, medicinal, aromatic and tuber crops. Further, it is a useful reference to students, researchers, extension workers and policy makers. The book can be used for teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses as well. Of the several factors responsible for lower productivity of ornamental, medicinal, aromatic and tuber crops, pests (insect pests, diseases and nematode parasites) are considered as important limiting factors. In this context the present book is of immense help to teach courses on plant protection in ornamental, medicinal, aromatic and tuber crops. Less
