4 Preface Lychee Disease Management is a stand-alone book dedicated to the global agriculture community facing problems in production and commercialization worldwide. This book is a comprehensive compilation of biotic and abiotic factors seemingly affecting lychee production and its commercialization. The book comprises disease management for its causal agents conferring leaf mite (Aceria litchii Keifer), leaf miner (Conopomorpha cramerella), fruit borers (Conopomorpha cramerella, Platypeplus aprobola Meyer, and Dichocrocis sp.), leaf webber/roller (Platypeplus aprobola Meyer), lychee bug (Tessaratoma javanica Thunberg), barkeating caterpillar (Indarbela quadrinotata), shoot borer (Chlumetia transversa), etc. Specialized chapters of the book uncover the statistical data at international level and recommend potential ways for lychee export, further illustrating the scope to increase the quantum of export; more so because the harvesting season is quite different in other parts of the world. It also sheds light on systematic research for identification of additional potential areas and development and refinement of technologies for enhancing the productivity and quality of lychee. This book comprises the managerial understanding on post-harvest handling, processing and value addition, development-tolerant varieties, high yield, and processing. It includes explicit insights through a comprehensive visionary documentation addressing scientific and economical aspects for all the neglected fruit enhancements.

7 About the Editors Manoj Kumar, Ph.D. Dr. Manoj Kumar is a scientist with sanguine behavior who is adoring about research and development, with a commitment to lifelong learning. He is determined on high-quality science that contributes broadly to increasing intellectual knowledge of both plant development and the ecological niche. He has a high level of professional desire for intellectual pursuits and the potential to fulfill his dream of highimpact publications and future recognition of these by academic peers. Dr. Kumar has pursued his Ph.D. in plant biotechnology at the prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University and then been awarded two postdoctoral fellowships consecutively: DBT-PDF from IISc Bangalore in 2005 and then NRF-PDF from the University of Pretoria. Dr. Manoj Kumar is a researcher of plant biotechnology in the Division of Microbial Technology at Amity University, Uttar Pradesh,. Recently he has accepted the affiliation from Ton Duc Thang University, Vietnam. Until recently, he was a coordinator of the Bio-resource Chapter (Northern ) and served on editorial boards of five international journals. Dr. Kumar has published several research papers, books, and review articles of international repute. During a decade of academic acquaintance, he has guided several research projects and dissertations and collaborated internationally. His diverse research background attracts global readers and researchers. Vivek Kumar, Ph.D. Dr. Vivek Kumar is a scientist who is involved in teaching, research, and guidance, with a pledge to enduring knowledge.

8 x About the Editors Physiologiae Plantarum, the International Research Journal of Plant Sciences, the International Journal of Microbiology, the African Journal of Microbiology Research, the Journal of Microbiology and Antimicrobials, Environmental Science and Pollution Research, and Rhizosphere. He has published 61 research papers, 19 book chapters, 6 review articles, and 2 books. Dr. Kumar has also served as a microbiologist for 8 years in the Department of Soil and Water Research, Public Authority for Agricultural Affairs and Fish Resources, Kuwait. Dr. Kumar s research areas are plant-microbe interactions, environmental microbiology, and bioremediation. He has been credited with first-time reporting and identification of pink rot inflorescence disease of date palm in Kuwait caused by Serratia marcescens. He has been awarded the Young Scientist Award for the year 2002 in agricultural microbiology by the Association of Microbiologists of (AMI). Dr. Kumar is establishing an unearthing and deliverance system, where a balance is being strived between the development of drought- and salinityresistant microbiome for better crop production in rain-fed and saline areas. In the bioremediation research program, the isolation and characterization of autochthonous microbiome from textile dye effluent and soil performed very well in the remediation of dyes under laboratory conditions. The selected microbiome will be further employed in the bioremediation of textile dyes at a larger level. Neera Bhalla-Sarin, F.N.A.Sc. Prof. (Dr.) Neera Bhalla-Sarin is working as professor and group leader at the School of Life Sciences, JNU, New Delhi. She has served the organization as professor and dean.
