The book will address selected topics in postharvest pathology aiming at highlighting recent development in the science, technology and control strategies of postharvest diseases to reduce losses and enhance safety of harvested agricultural products.

Topics will include:

1) Introduction: Perspectives and challenges in postharvest pathology

2) Elucidating host-pathogen interactions

3) Next generation technologies for management and detection of postharvest pathogens

4) Food safety in postharvest pathology

5) Alternative postharvest diseases control strategies

6) Chemical control of postharvest diseases
