INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF PLANT DISEASE

Abstract

Pesticides have played important role in control plant diseases, which induce high economic losses in world crop yield directly or indirectly. General health and environmental problem associated with their utilization, which in return increase the concern of the researchers to find a new strategies which are biologically active, environmentally safe and sustainable to manage plant diseases.Integrated diseases management is the more important strategy, which aimed to programming the utilization of agricultural, biological, physical and even eco-friendly chemical pesticides as last line of defense in disease management. The main goal of integrated disease management is to keep the yield losses from diseases to level that do not threat crop production by elimination of primary inoculants with soil or soil substitutes sterilization and used healthy seeds and propagation units from certified sources in addition to limiting inoculants spreading and survival and optimization fungicides application if it’s application are necessary.
