India is a largest consumer of the spices and also predominant country in spices production in the world. Lack of high yielding varieties, improper nutrient management and incidence of many diseases at various stages of crop growth, are the principal constraints to achieve high productivity of these crops. Yet crop losses due to diseases incited by fungi, bacteria, viruses and phytoplasmas, plays a major role in the productivity of spice crops. Integrated diseases management strategies involving the use of most effective methods need to be implemented for efficient management of diseases in these valuable crops.

The pathological aspects of some important spice crops have been dealt in this book.
