This essential handbook for student and practicing plant pathologists has been thoroughly reorganized and updated since the publication of the second edition in 1983. The new edition includes: rearrangement of topics to facilitate use; 49 short succinct chapters, each providing valuable
practical information; new topics such as landmarks in plant pathology, survey of sampling procedures, disease evaluation, effects of climate change, biochemical and molecular techniques, epidemic modelling, breeding for resistance, laboratory safety and electronic databases; seven overall sections
covering disease recognition and evaluation, causation, diagnosis, investigation, control, general techniques, and presentation of results.
Industry Reviews
"In defense of the fact that this edition is larger than pocketbook size, Waller (Bioscience UK Centre, Surrey) points out that this iteration completely upgrades the 1983 second edition. New topics include disease forecasting, biochemical and molecular techniques, and electronic databases. Sections cover plant pathologists' major activity areas: disease recognition and evaluation, causes, diagnosis/investigation, management, and general techniques and information. Includes a chronology of landmarks in plant pathology, bibliography of crop and plant diseases, glossary, and international resources. Includes a few illustrations."--SciTech Book News "In defense of the fact that this edition is larger than pocketbook size, Waller (Bioscience UK Centre, Surrey) points out that this iteration completely upgrades the 1983 second edition.
