Editorial Reviews

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
