The management of crop diseases has become important throughout the world. Various methods have been advocated to manage viral, bacterial, fungal and nematode diseases of various crops. The emphasis and prime importance is given on the development of resistant varieties and now it has been possible to manage the various diseases in integrated manner. But the failure of resistant gene in a variety sometimes has been observed and hence the scientists are busy to manage the diseases in biotechnological manners. The biotechnology and molecular biology has found to be of great help and developing transgenic varieties in addition to regular hybridizations. The volume on biotechnological approaches for the integrated management of crop diseases will be great help to solve the problems of crop disease management. The volume consists of 26 review articles on biotechnological approaches by very well known international scientists throughout the India on different crops. Almost all the renowned institutes of ICAR, IARI, ICRISAT and other universities have contributed to make this volume success in the supplying the biotechnological approaches for the management of crop diseases. This volume is published in the honor of Prof L V Gangawane who has contributed much in the management of various crop diseases.  Table of Contents Chapter 1: Biotechnological Approach for the Integrated Management of Crop Diseases by Amerika Singh, O P Sharma, O M Bambawale & S K Singh  Chapter 2: Use of Indirect Competitive ELISA Technique for Detection of AflatoxinB1 Contaminated in Chilli by K Ajitkumar, M K Naik, F Waliygai & S V Reddy  Chapter 3: Studies on in vitro and in vivo Synthesis of Pectolytic and Cellulolytic Enzymes by the Leaf Spot and Fruit Rot Pathogen of Banana by M M V Baig & D S Mukadam  Chapter 4: Strategies for the Management of Groundnut Diseases by M P Ghewande & Vinod Kumar  Chapter 5: Biotechnological Approaches for Integrated Management of Plant Diseases by C D Mayee & P K Chakrabarty  Chapter 6: Integrated Plant Disease Management: Recent Approaches by Myank U Charaya & R S Mehrotra  Chapter 7: Biocontrol Potential of Microorganisms-An Overview: Focus on Trichoderma as Biofungicide for the Management of Plant Diseases by N Mathivanan, V R Prabavathy & K Murugesan  Chapter 8: Effect of Sphacelia Culture Filtrate on Callus and Cell Suspension Cultures of Sorghum by Nicky Johnson & A H Rajasab  Chapter 9: Molecular Basis of Plant Disease Resistance by S M Paul Khurana, Swarup K Chakrabarti & Debasis Pattanayak  Chapter 10: Entomogenous Fungi and Their Further Prospects as Mycoinsecticides by M S Patil  Chapter 11: Integrated Disease Management in Rice by C S Reddy  Chapter 12: Management of Charcoal Rot of Soybean by Sudha Mall  Chapter 13: Application of Genetic Engineering for Disease Management in Vegetable Crops by T S Thind, J K Arora, H J S Dhaliwal, Prem Raj, C Mohan & M I S Gill  Chapter 14: Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria to Augment Crop Production by K V B R Tilak & C Manoharachary  Chapter 15: Role of 2,4-diacetyphloroglucinol (DAPG) for Plant Disease Control: Its Importance to Rice Bacterial Blight Suppression in india by P Velusamy, G Defago, L S Thomashow & S S Gnanamanickam  Chapter 16: Heart Rot and Root Rot Diseases of Trees: A Case Study from the Campus of Pune University by J G Vaidya & G G Deshpande  Chapter 17: VA Mycorrhiza A New Biotechnological Tool as Biocontrol Agent: Indian Scenario by Sudhir Chandra & Harbans Kaur Kehri  Chapter 18: Microbial Management of Plant Diseases: An Overview by R C Rajak, A K Pandey, A K Singh & Rohit Sharma  Chapter 19: Waste Management: An Environmental Biotechnology Way by Onkar J Chakre  Chapter 20: Problems in Management of Apple Scab in Kashmir: A Case Study by B L Putto  Chapter 21: Impact of Biotechnology on Crop Improvement with Special Reference to Biotic and Abiotic Stresses by M N Khare & M Shrimali  Chapter 22: Biotechnology in the Management of Pearl Millet Downy Mildew by R P Thakur & C T Hash  Chapter 23: Indian Contributions to Aerobiology of Fungal Plant Pathogens: An Overview by B P R Vittal  Chapter 24: Trees of Religious Importance from Amarakosha by Brahmanand Deshpande  Chapter 25: Viruses Infecting Chilli/Capsicum in India by Satya Prakash & S P S Tomer  Chapter 26: Epidemiology and Integrated Management of Fruit-Rot Diseases of Trichosanthes dioica by A K Roy & Anjan Krishna.
