The present work is distinctive in that it exclusively deals with the production of an individual farming enterprise specifically in view of its phyto-pathology. The book is systematically organised incorporating both analytical and integrated studies of the physical, social economic and human environments and also of phyto-pathological constraints that either promote or hinder the change in the cultivation of sugar cane. Sugar cane crop is frequently attacked by both seed piece and non seed piece diseases. To ensure qualitative as well as quantitative production of cane it is therefore, imperative to identify the specific diseases causing severe damage to different varieties of the crop. The book also has done the job with great clearity. \nNo doubt, the book is thin, but it is sure to activate the interest of a wide range of scientists, specially geographers and irrigation engineers in the problems concerning sugar cane enterprise. migration.
