Plant Pathogens and Plant Diseases

Edited by J. F. Brown and H. J. Ogle

A completely rewritten update of the 1980 textbook 'A Course Manual in
Plant Protection' with an Australasian emphasis. The book is designed to
give students and researchers a background in the principles of plant
pathology and of managing plant diseases. The agents of disease and =
their
methods of infection, survival and dispersal are described as well as =
the
responses of plants to infection. Descriptions of the factors affecting =
the
development of disease epidemics and methods for forecasting disease
outbreaks and assessing the effects of disease on yield lead into a
discussion of the strategies used to manage plant diseases. The final
section contains descriptions of diseases caused by the various groups =
of
pathogens. The text draws on the expertise of teachers and researchers =
from
throughout Australia. A must for Australasian students of plant =
pathology
and those interested in how diseases affect plants.
The text is endorsed by the Australasian Plant Pathology Society Inc.
