Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Grass and forage plants play important roles in developing grassland animal husbandry, promoting sustainable agricultural development and environment protection worldwide. Diseases pose serious threats to grass and forage plants, with adverse impacts on growth, yield and quality. It is important to understand the etiology and epidemiology of diseases in grass and forage plants for effective management. This Special Issue will cover the current research advances and future prospects in the etiology, epidemic and management of grass and forage diseases in China. The cutting-edge research can be summarized as follows: pathogenicity; disease resistance breeding; and green management. We are soliciting submissions relating to the etiology, epidemiology and management of grass and forage diseases in China.
