This book accounts for various sources of nutraceuticals and dietary fibers in our diet and their systematic mechanism of actions independent of the time old components of the so called balanced diet of yesteryears. Further these nutraceuticals and dietary fibers function as agents for detoxifications, reducing blood cholesterol and preventing CHD and Cancer.            Many physicians of various systems are of the opinion that diet is medicine, but only a few are able to explain the role of various nutraceuticals as immunomodulators (in a way as oral vaccines), antioxidants, antivirals, anticarcinogenics, antiatherogenics, antidiabetics,antithrombogenics, antiaging, fibrinolytic, hepatoprotective, radioprotective, and vasodilatory agents.            This is the first comprehensive approach on the role of dietary fiber and nutraceuticals (nutritional medicines present in functional foods). The involvement of the six classes of nutraceuticals viz; terpenes, carotenoids, phytosterols, polyphenols, flavonoids, and theols, as essential components of a healthy diet are an armour against diseases. The compounds present in onions, garlic, cabbage, soybeans and coccinia indica are actually members of nutraceuticals and are described elaborately in this book.

Globally, climate change is exerting an enormous influence on productivity of both natural and cultivated ecosystems. With growing population and its needs, nature was subjected to over exploitation at the expense of sustainability of resources and production base. Of the sciences that help us in understanding and adjusting with the nature in relation to agriculture, Agricultural Meteorology is one. There are several advanced books on this subject, but a text book on basic principles is lacking. The author has attempted to bridge the gap in clear and non-mathematical manner. The first eight chapters deal with different components of weather, followed by chapters on applications of meteorological data for tackling the problem of crop production. In other chapters crop growth modelling, climate change, micrometeorology, weather modification and remote sensing have been discussed. This book is undoubtedly essential for students of Agricultural Sciences, Environmental Scientists, Agro-meteorologists and Progressive farmers.

Present day technology is vibrant and changing rapidly. But the essential characteristics remain the same; when a fuel is burnt, the aim will always be to completely burn it and derive maximum heat out of it. A furnace and its refractory linings are must to utilize the fuel. When the fuel is burnt and some process(s) are performed in the furnace, it becomes a consequential necessity to measure the temperature in the furnace, to have a proper control over the operations. An effort is made to give the students a deep insight into the utilization of fuels, with some fundamentals, essential to have a grasp of the subject. This book thus tries to encompass the fuel utilization to a satisfactory level.Salient features · Units are converted to S.I.

The principal objective of this book is to put the science of climate change in the right perspective and help people of all walks of life. At present governments are looking at climate change as a monster created by anthropogenic greenhouse gases, a false alarm created by vested groups. In light of this, the book has addressed to remove ambiguities relating to the use of words like "global warming" and "climate change" on the one hand and on the other hand discussed their role on Nature. At present several agencies are misleading the education system and governments on the subject matter. This book provides a practical guide to students and as well to planners on the ground realities of the science of climate change; and thus it is useful as reference manual. This can be seen from the way the book is divided.

Traditionally plant diseases have been managed by the use of toxic chemicals. However, concern increases due to their hazard effects directly or indirectly on the life of man and animals. Non-judicious use of chemicals leads to increase in pathogens resistance. Therefore, the alternatives to chemicals control such as resistant varieties, cultural practices and biological control have become essential for the management of plant diseases and crop production. Biological methods mainly consist of using microorganisms to control harmful microorganisms causing plant diseases without disturbing the ecological balance. Biological control of plant pathogens continuous to inspire research and development in many fields. Biological control of weeds is defined as the use of natural enemies to exert pressure on the population of their host plants to reduce them. Most of the programmes on biocontrol of weeds have been carried out by entomologists, who have introduced phytophagous insects from the native region of a weed to another geographical area. In short, it appears that plant pathogens as biological control agents hold a good promise. Although they are not expected to replace chemicals, which will dominate the market for many more years to come, their integration with chemicals should find an important place in weed management technology. The book caters to the needs of students, teachers and research scholars who are pursuing biological control studies.Features· Techniques related to extraction of plant parasitic nematodes explained· Approaches to biological suppression of weeds with pathogens explored· An overview of post-harvest diseases of fruits provided· Mass production of Trichoderma Spp. explained· Efficiency of the pathogens for weed control discussed.
