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.\n\n\n\nPlant 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.\n\n\n\nThe 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.\n\n |
