Product Description This essential handbook for advanced student and practicing plant pathologists has been thoroughly reorganized and updated since publication of the second edition in 1983. New features include the rearrangement of topics to facilitate use, and 44 short succinct chapters, each providing valuable and practical information. There are several new chapter topics and five overall sections covering disease recognition and evaluation, causation, diagnosis and investigation as well as disease management and general techniques and information. Review "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 About the Author Jillian M. Lenné is a Consultant in Agricultural Research and Development, UK.
