By Donald C. Erwin and Olaf K. Ribeiro SCROLL DOWN TO ORDER THIS TITLE. This book presents an overview of Phytophthora diseases. Taking into account the needs of graduate students, scientists, and agricultural professionals, this volume integrates guides to literature, background information, physiology and genetics, the effect of environmental factors on disease, control by biological and cultural means, resistant cultivars, fungicides, and techniques for recognizing, identifying, and isolating Phytophthora pathogens. Featured are detailed descriptions of 59 species, including photomicrographs and drawings, and discussion of related diseases, their development and control, and distribution. Generously illustrated and printed on high-quality enamel stock, this volume will be welcome by plant scientists and libraries worldwide.
