The book is a compilation of 48 chapters covering diversity, diagnosis and detection of postharvest pathogens and diseases, pre-and postharvest management of diseases, mycotoxin and value addition of horticultural crops. The present book is first of its kind made a sincere attempt to gather expert latest knowledge on various dimensions of postharvest handing and management of postharvest diseases. The book will definitely serve as ready reckoner for management of postharvest of diseases and help about the value addition of horticultural produce. The book is intended for teachers and students who focus on postharvest pathology and postharvest technology in postgraduate programme. It will provide the latest know how in this field to researchers, policy makers and all other stakeholders to meet present day requirement.
