Add to basketThe significance of the climate change and their impacts on fruit crops, their problems, and their solutions determine the need for a book in agriculture. So, firstly we are going to talk about the importance of climate change and the shift of the climate due to various reasons. Similarly, king of fruits (mango) is also facing various issues due to climate change and the most important problems which are causing serious constraints to mango production are Mango sudden decline and mango malformation. These problems have emerged in orchards since the issue of climate change is increasing day by day and currently there is no mango orchard free from these diseases and leading to very low production of the crop with respect to previous years. Similarly climate change has also raised the issue of unseen pathogens in the mango orchards posing serious challenges to mango production due to new diseases and stresses. The main drivers behind the writing of this book is that this book will disseminate a plethora of knowledge on how to deal smartly with the mango orchards in changing climate to obtain good yield and to maintain good health status.
Syed Atif Hasan Naqvi currently serves as a lecturer in Plant Pathology at Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakistan. With 14 years of extensive research experience and 7 years in academia, Dr. Naqvi is a recognized mango pathology and cultivation authority. His career began at the Mango Research Station Multan, followed by a pivotal role at the Mango Research Institute Multan, where he contributed significantly to advancing mango research and extension services. As a dedicated mango consultant, Dr. Naqvi has explored nearly every facet of mango pathology and agronomic practices, developing sustainable strategies for managing diseases and enhancing productivity. His work as an extension plant pathologist has been instrumental in providing voluntary guidance to mango farmers, helping them address critical challenges through innovative solutions.
