Root and Stem Rots

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Wheat Diseases and Their Management

Abstract

Root and stem rots are caused by several nematodal and fungal diseases, however, only one nematodal and seven fungal diseases are described in this chapter. Most of these diseases occur either alone or in combination with others.
