Foreword
Crop plants are subject to various types of biotic stresses right from the stage of seed germination till the harvesting stage. Attacks by a wide variety of already known and newly emerging pests, nematodes, and microorganisms are some of the major threats to the crop plants and therefore to the agriculture productivity. Plant diseases caused by different pathogens are known to cause loss of more than 30% crop yield, resulting in decreased agriculture produce of the country thus increasing the economic hardships of the farmers. Traditionally these plant diseases have been managed so far using various agrochemicals. However, the liberal, untargeted, and nonspecific use of these agrochemicals increases the cultivation c
