Plant pathology & diseases

Plant disease epidemiology is a dynamic science that forms an essential part of the study of plant pathology. This book brings together a team of 35 international experts. Each chapter deals with an essential component of the subject and allows the reader to fully understand how each exerts its influence on the progress of pathogen populations in plant populations over a defined time scale. Since the first edition of the text was published in 1998, many new developments have occurred in the subjects covered, particularly molecular diagnostics, modelling, fungicide resistance and information technology. The second edition of the book is a comprehensive text on all aspects of plant disease epidemiology that should serve as an invaluable reference work for those involved in this fascinating science of crop plants.

Reviews for The Epidemiology of Plant Diseases

From the reviews of the second edition: <p> I would recommend this book for four groups. The first is advanced undergraduate students and postgraduate students starting a research project a ] . The second group are teachers of advanced courses a ] . A third group a ] people like me who need their minda (TM)s broadening a ] . The fourth group are the least accessible audience a agricultural advisors a ] . It will be a valuable addition to the personal library of crop pathologists and will be inspiring for molecular pathologists a ] . (David B. Collinge, European Journal of Plant Pathology, Vol. 116, 2006)
