Preface This would be a long preface if I was to set down in detail the reasons why I attempted to write this book in present form.  Suffice it to say that the text is based on course which I have been teaching to undergraduate students.  The purpose is to provide the basic and emerging facts whereby the students may be introduced to the scientific foundation of this noble course called Diseases of Horticultural Crops. To a certain extent any course is a reflection of the teacher's own training and of his special interest. The author as a regular teacher for undergraduate courses, has experienced that student do not take books. They rely solely on class notes. One of the reason being the non availability of text books covering entire course content, the way they are delivered. In the present book, I have tried to arrange the topics and the contents in such a manner that students get an easy reading with due continuity and thus understanding. It is hoped that the book will prove useful for teachers, professionals, and students in the discipline of plant pathology and horticulture. I do not claim originality in the preparation of this book and has taken help from a large number of books, journals, periodicals, bulletins, internet, etc. I humbly thank authors, editors, and publishers of the books, journals, etc. I am also indebted to my wife Dr. (Mrs) Archana Rani for inspiration and  help and children Saumya and Adyan for bearing with me during the preparation of this book.
