Quarantine has become a widely recognized and utilized term among humans worldwide during the period of 2019-2020. Its impact on human lives, national economies, migration patterns, and restrictions on human movement, as well as political unrest in various nations, has been significant as a result of the emergence of Covid-19, a virus originating from humans. Similarly, the topic of plant quarantine is an essential subject in plant and food security worldwide. Recent invasions of locusts in the Sub-Saharan region and the Indian continent have had a profound impact on agriculture due to this invasive alien species. Various examples of diseases and pest threats have been encountered in the agricultural crop production, biodiversity, and ecological environment of the region.Plant quarantine regulations in different regions of the world help to mitigate damage caused by invasive alien species. The sudden emergence of plant pathogens, including viruses, may take governments and other establishments by surprise. Therefore, understanding the subject of plant quarantine in relation to invasive alien species is of paramount importance. However, this knowledge is currently lacking, and the available literature is scattered, with no up-to-date book on this subject. Plant Quarantine: An Approach to Restrict Invasive Alien Species is a comprehensive compilation of all necessary aspects related to this topic.The book is composed of 16 chapters and serves as a valuable resource for plant quarantine personnel working in the field, agriculture university students, plant health workers, farmers engaged in agriculture, plant and seed traders, and anyone involved in the use of agricultural products and produce.

Fungi, as microorganisms, are ubiquitous and can be found in various environments, including mountains, soil crust, water bodies such as rivers, lakes, ponds, and oceans, on plant surfaces, food grains, fruits, and vegetables, decomposing materials, fabrics and leather in damp weather, air cooling systems, environmental air both indoors and outdoors, and on the bodies of animals and humans.Some fungal growths are visible to the naked eye, while others can only be seen under a microscope. Fungal microbes can act as pathogens, causing harm by causing diseases in crop plants, food products, fruits, and vegetables, in humans, animals, birds, and marine life. However, certain fungal species are beneficial to mankind, agriculture, and the environment. These fungi provide food products, antibiotics, enzymes, organic acids, plant nutrients, composting agents, and serve as biological control agents, among other beneficial roles.Despite their significance, many people are not aware of the various functions of fungal microbes. This knowledge has not yet been passed down to future generations. It is crucial for everyone to understand the role of fungal microbes in our lives, as they play an important role at some point in time.

The book A Handbook on Plant Health Medicines stands out among other plant protection books due to its highly illustrative content. Its primary objective is to disseminate scientific and practical knowledge about plant protection and health medicines to agricultural personnel and farmers. The book is divided into three sections with a total of 30 chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of plant health management. These sections cover chemical molecules for disease control, chemical molecules for physiological disorders, and pesticides for insect management. The book also includes images of representative diseases, pests, and mineral deficiency symptoms to aid in identification and treatment. By making this book accessible to pesticide shop dealers and farmers, the authors aim to improve plant health management in the agricultural ecosystem.
