Compendium of Cotton Diseases, Second Edition provides practical, up-to-date information on the diagnosis and control of cotton diseases worldwide. This edition begins with an overview of the origin and evolution of cultivated cotton and a description of the growth and development of the plant, which is fundamental in disease diagnosis and effective management strategies. Expanded disease sections include detailed pathogen descriptions, characteristic symptoms that occur, the disease cycle, and control information. Includes twice as many color photographs as the first edition.

Additional improvements include:


  • greater attention to noninfectious disorders, including nutritional disorders, herbicide injury and toxicity, and environmental stresses.
  • sections on common disease interactions, host plant resistance to pathogens, and general principles of disease management in integrated production systems.

This useful reference is ideal for growers, crop consultants, researchers, extension agents, students, teachers, libraries, and anyone who works with cotton.
