Antimicrobial Resistance in Agriculture and Its Consequences


Free Download Antimicrobial Resistance in Agriculture and Its Consequences
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1032216441 | 205 Pages | PDF (True) | 6 MB
This book offers comprehensive coverage of all manifestations of resistance in combating infectious diseases and explores advances in antimicrobial resistance in agriculture and their applications in the fight against microbes. It discusses and compares biological, biochemical, and structural aspects of resistance and its evolution. This is a comprehensive tool covering all manifestations of antimicrobial resistance and microbial resistance genes. In addition, it also provides a variety of photographs, diagrams, and tables to help illustrate the material. Novel strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance are also described, emphasizing collaborative measures of control. The underlining molecular mechanisms, which depend not only on the microbe but on the specific drug (target) molecule, are highly diverse and are covered in great detail.

Disaster Risk Reduction in Agriculture


Free Download Disaster Risk Reduction in Agriculture by Mukhtar Ahmed, Shakeel Ahmad
English | EPUB (True) | 2023 | 563 Pages | ISBN : 981991762X | 70.4 MB
This book is related to disaster risk reduction in agriculture particularly under changing climate. Climate change refers to significant, long-term changes in the global climate. There is unequivocal evidence that Earth is warming at an unprecedented rate. Human activity is the principal cause. The planets average surface temperature has risen to about 1oC since the late 19th century and most of the warming occurred in the past 40 years.

Climate-Resilient Agriculture, Vol 2 Agro-Biotechnological Advancement for Crop Production


Free Download Climate-Resilient Agriculture, Vol 2: Agro-Biotechnological Advancement for Crop Production by Mirza Hasanuzzaman
English | EPUB (True) | 2023 | 1003 Pages | ISBN : 3031374274 | 52.9 MB
Under ongoing climate change, natural and cultivated habitats of major food crops are being continuously disturbed. Such condition accelerates to impose stress effects like abiotic and biotic stressors. Drought, salinity, flood, cold, heat, heavy metals, metalloids, oxidants, irradiation etc. are important abiotic stresses; and diseases and infections caused by plant pathogens viz. fungal agents, bacteria and viruses are major biotic stresses. As a result, these harsh environments affect crop productivity and its biology in multiple complex paradigms. As stresses become the limiting factors for agricultural productivity and exert detrimental role on growth and yield of the crops, scientists and researchers are challenged to maintain global food security for a rising world population.
