Diseases and insect Pests of Mushroom .Vikas Tiwari
Mushroom are mainly subjected to bacterial , fungal and viral diseases.
Improper pasteurization of compost and casing soil can be the major source of diseases
Once the disease is introdeuced in the farm it can be carried out by different agencies like air, water, machines and workers.
This document provides an overview of plant pathology and the general symptoms of plant diseases. It defines plant pathology as the study of plant diseases and describes diseases as any deviations from healthy plant structure or function. General symptoms are categorized as signs, which are external appearances of pathogens on plants, and effects induced by pathogens. Common signs include mildews, smuts, rusts, and blisters. Typical induced effects are necrosis, hypoplasia, hypertrophy, wilts, and damping off. Specific examples of each category are described in detail.
Entomology is the study of insects. There are over 750,000 identified insect species worldwide, with only around 10,000 species harmful to humans. Insects are classified and grouped by features like feeding habits and mouthparts. They have external skeletons and are composed of segments including the head, thorax, and abdomen. Insect life cycles can involve incomplete or complete metamorphosis through stages like eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. Key concepts in entomology include classification, orders of insects, life cycles, and approaches to pest management.
Manipulation of cultural practices at an appropriate time for reducing or avoiding disease damage to crops
The cultural practices make the environment less favorable for the plant pathogen and or more favorable for its bio control agents.
According to Stevens(1960) , the cultural methods of disease control involve agricultural cropping, harvesting and storage, tillage, crop rotation, soil management, growing of resistant varieties, planning of land use, and other related practices.

Mushroom production technology was presented to Dr. Anshul Arya. Mushrooms are fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting bodies of fungi that do not contain chlorophyll and depend on other plants for nutrients. The main parts of mushrooms include the pileus, volva, lamellae, annulus, mycelial threads, scale, and stipe. Mushroom cultivation began over 1000 years ago in China and has since expanded, with India now producing around 1.3 lakh tonnes annually, mostly of button, oyster, paddy straw, and milky mushrooms. Mushrooms are cultivated for food, agricultural waste utilization, employment, and their nutritional benefits such as protein, vitamins, minerals
This document discusses diseases that threaten mushroom cultivation, including fungal, bacterial, and viral diseases. It provides details on several major diseases: dry bubble caused by Verticillium fungicola, wet bubble caused by Mycogone perniciosa, and cobweb disease caused by Cladobotryum dendroides. These parasitic diseases can cause significant losses after artificial inoculation. The document also discusses non-parasitic fungal competitors in mushroom cultivation, like green mould, false truffle disease, and plaster moulds. It emphasizes the importance of hygiene, sterilization and prevention of introducing infectious materials to manage these diseases. The conclusion stresses adopting integrated disease management strategies like biofungicides and good
Mushrooms are healthy diet for sugar patients because they need of low calories and fat. Various types of mushrooms are available in the market. So growing mushrooms at home is the easiest way to get these health benefits.
Mushroom spores germinate in soil or wood to form hyphae, which grow into a mycelium network. The mycelium may later produce a tiny mushroom that expands into a full mushroom. Mushrooms have structures like a cap, stalk, gills, and ring. Spores are produced on the gills in basidia and basidiocarps. Spores contain haploid nuclei and are dispersed by the millions, but few will find suitable conditions to germinate and continue the life cycle.
This document discusses nematode problems and their management in polyhouses. It begins by defining nematodes and describing where they are found. It then discusses plant-parasitic nematodes in more detail, including how they damage plants through feeding and vectoring other pathogens. Symptoms of nematode infection above and below ground are provided. The document notes that nematode problems are severe in polyhouses due to favorable temperature and moisture conditions. It concludes by outlining phytosanitary, cultural, and chemical management strategies to control nematodes in polyhouses.

Biological control of insect pest and disease of citrusManish pal
The document summarizes the current status and potential of biological control for insect pests and diseases affecting citrus. It outlines that citrus faces numerous pests and diseases that are currently controlled through pesticides, but that biological control provides an environmentally friendly alternative. The document then reviews several major citrus pests and diseases, their impacts, and examples of existing or potential biological control agents being used against each one. It concludes that biological control alone or as part of integrated pest management is an effective non-chemical strategy for controlling citrus pests.
Physical and mechanical control methods modify the environment or use physical force to manage pest populations. Temperature, moisture, light, and sound can all be manipulated to exceed insect tolerance thresholds. High temperatures from sun drying grains or hot water treatments can kill pests. Low temperatures in cold storage facilities also control certain insects. Mechanical methods directly kill pest life stages through actions like hand picking, crushing, or using machines that apply centrifugal force. Physical barriers like banding, netting, or traps can exclude pests from infested areas. While requiring more labor than chemicals, physical and mechanical control have merits like utilizing local labor and posing less ecological risk than pesticides when properly applied.
Insects can damage crops in many ways. Chewing insects like caterpillars and beetles directly damage plants by eating foliage, stems, bark, fruits and roots. Piercing-sucking insects like aphids and whiteflies feed on plant sap and can transmit diseases. Their feeding can cause yellow spots, stunted growth, curling or twisting of leaves. Insect borers tunnel into and feed within plant structures like stems, roots, fruits, grains, causing wilting or making crops unfit for consumption. Gall forming insects induce swollen plant growths. Defoliators, leafminers and armyworms can completely strip plants of foliage. Insects affect most parts of plants and can severely impact crop yields if
This document summarizes diseases and pests that affect honeybees, including brood diseases like American Foulbrood, European Foulbrood, Sac Brood, and Chalk Brood. It also discusses diseases of adult bees including Nosema disease caused by a protozoan. Parasites that affect honeybees are described such as Varroa mites, tracheal mites, small hive beetle, wax moth, and black bears. Prevention and treatment methods are provided for some diseases including the use of antibiotics like Terramycin and Fumadil.
This document discusses various insect vectors and the plant diseases they transmit. It provides examples of different insect vectors like green leafhopper, brown plant hopper, bean aphid, leaf hopper, whitefly, thrips, brown leafhopper, green peach aphid, and banana aphid. For each vector, it describes the disease(s) they transmit, associated symptoms in plants, and potential management strategies. Insects can transmit viruses, bacteria, fungi, or phytoplasmas, with viruses being the most common type of plant pathogen transmitted by insect vectors.

The Solanaceae family contains many important agricultural crops and toxic plants. It includes crops like potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and tobacco. Solanaceae species typically have 12 chromosomes, though some have more due to polyploidy. Wild potatoes can have 24-72 chromosomes depending on whether they are diploid, triploid, tetraploid, pentaploid or hexaploid. Cultivated crops like tomatoes and potatoes also vary in their number of chromosomes. The tomato is a berry fruit that is usually self-pollinated though some cross-pollination can occur. Tomato plants can be indeterminate, continuing to grow and produce fruit, or determinate, terminating growth after fruiting once or twice.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

that plants use to manufacture
their own food and energy. For
this reason they are placed in a
Kingdom of their own," The
Kingdom of Fungi".
