POSTHARVEST PATHOGENS AND DISEASE MANAGEMENT
Postharvest diseases caused by microbial pathogens account for
millions of dollars in losses of both durable and perishable
produce products every year. Moreover, with consumers increasingly
demanding minimally processed vegetables and fruits--which can be
invaded by human pathogens--there is an imperative need for
suitable protective measures to provide pathogen-free commodities
that are free from, or contain only acceptable levels of, chemical
residues.
Providing details of both conventional and modern molecular
techniques applicable for the detection, identification, and
differentiation of field and storage microbial pathogens,
Postharvest Pathogens and Disease Management:
* Discusses diseases of both durables and perishables during
transit and storage
* Provides a basic understanding of the effects of handling and
storage practices as well as field conditions and product
susceptibility on the development of postharvest diseases
* Reveals, as a cautionary note, the potential hazards of
mycotoxins with carcinogenic properties that can contaminate fruits
and vegetables
* Contains detailed information derived from elucidative evidence
and disease data in order to explain the infection process and
subsequent stages of disease development
* Helps readers to avoid conditions that favor disease incidence
and spread
* Includes real life examples of disease management strategies to
help readers develop effective disease management systems suitable
for different ecosystems
* Emphasizes the importance of integrating several different
effective methods in tandem, including the development of cultivars
with resistance to postharvest diseases; the selection of suitable
analytical methods; and the effective use of biocontrol agents and
chemicals
* Presents protocols for numerous techniques and basic methods,
making the book a distinctive and highly useful teaching and
research tool
Postharvest Pathogens and Disease Management offers readers insight
into the principles and methods of avoiding and managing
postharvest diseases of fruit and vegetable products in an
efficient, economical, and environmentally feasible manner,
allowing producers to sell safer, higher-quality produce to the
public and prevent the losses associated with postharvest disease.
