Description:There is an ever-increasing demand for more food but one of the stumbling blocks to achieving this goal seems to be quality and quantity losses due to various pests and pathogens and mycotoxins synthesized by these harmful biotic entities.Thus far, strategies employed to manage these post-harvest diseases and mycotoxins decontamination include established physical, cultural, and chemical methods. Recently, the application of chemicals to reduce decay and deterioration caused by various pathogens has been impeded as these hazardous chemicals contaminate the environment, enter the food chain, and destroy beneficial microorganisms and insect pests by aiming at non-target microorganisms. In light of this, eco-friendly and non-polluting alternatives to chemical pesticides is the call of the hour.
Bio-management of Postharvest Diseases and Mycotoxigenic Fungi deals with the current state and future prospects of using various bio-management techniques that are natural, eco-friendly, and environmentally safe. It aims to increase awareness of their potential as well as sensitizing the readers to the various aspects of biologicals in pest control. Key Features:Highlights classical versus new techniques adopted to manage postharvest diseasesDiscusses novel approaches in managing fungal spoilage and mycotoxin decontaminationProvides readers with a 360-degree perspective of the pre- and post-harvest quality mycotoxin decontamination research being conductedDetails further ideas being proposed to ensure a food secure and pesticide free worldThis book is an attempt to disseminate notable and diversified scientific work carried out by leading experts in their own field. Written by qualified scientists in each of their respective disciplines, it can serve as a current and comprehensive treatise on the emerging field of bio-management of postharvest diseases and mycotoxin decontamination by products that are generally regarded as safe.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
