Principles and Practices of Plant Quarantine
Plant Quarantine deals with alien pests which could became serious threat to our agricultural, horticultural and forest plants. Brief introduction of alien pests such as bacteria, fungi, insects, nematodes, plant viruses, etc. is given in the preliminary chapters. Risk factors involved in these pests are analyzed. Various methods available to detect these pests from imported plants and plants material and their elimination procedures are discussed. The role of legislation containing the alien pests and efforts made by governments in implementing the legislative measures are described. The global approach to prevent the spread of pests across international borders and obligation of governments are brought out. The functioning of Plant Quarantine system in India and further strengthening the system are suggested. Whenever necessary, relevant illustration are provided. The, text, tables and illustrations could be a good reference sources not only for persons engaged in Plant Quarantine organizations but also for the users of plant quarantine services. This book could also be useful in organizing training programs and could serve as a teaching aid.
Quarantine Pests for Europe
This book is the result of collaboration between the European and Mediterranean plant Protection Organization (EPPO) and CAB International (CABI), sponsored by the Commission of the European Communities, to prepare data sheets on pests of plant quarantine significance for Europe and the Mediterranean region. Coverage extends to insects, fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes and parasitic plants. It includes organisms that are found outside Europe and the Mediterranean and that present a risk to this region, as well as those that are present but have a restricted distribution and are subject to phytosanitary controls. A total of 188 data sheets are included, some covering groups of similar organisms. The format of the FAO model data sheet is followed, using standard headings: identity, hosts, geographical distribution, biology, detection and identification, means of movement and dispersal, pest significance (including economic impact, control and phytosanitary risk), phytosanitary measures, and a bibliography. The book is a definitive reference source not only for those with specific interests in plant quarantine but also for all concerned with pest mangement.
Principles of Plant Health and Quarantine
There is a growing awareness that an understanding of international plant health agreements and protocol is essential in the increasingly free-trade environment of today, and that administrative methods of plant pest control are important in crop production. However, there has been no recent book, which introduces students and practitioners to the subject of plant health and quarantine. This book fills this gap.
Physical Control Methods in Plant Protection
Jointly published with INRA, Paris. Pesticide resistance is becoming more frequent and widespread with more than 500 insect species known to have become resistant to synthetic insecticides. On the other hand, consumers increasingly demand agricultural products without any pesticide residues. This book, for the first time, shows the alternative: solely physical methods for plant protection by means of thermal, electromagnetic, mechanical and vacuum processes. A glossary rounds up this extremely valuable book.

Plant Quarantine
Designed primarily for non-specialist crop scientists, foresters and administrators in development projects, this publication provides briefing on the essentials of plant quarantine. It contains a discussion of both the principles and practical steps involved in planning and executing projects in order to avoid the potentially disastrous effects of pest introductions.
