The expanding, multifaceted discipline of plant pathology has generated a need for resources that encompass its subdisciplines. Diseases of Field Crops meets this need by offering a comprehensive resource on the diseases of 22 major field crops grown in the United States and neighboring countries.

With contributions from 50 plant pathologists, this book is organized into 23 chapters and includes a glossary and an index. Chapter 1 establishes a foundation on integrated plant disease management (IPDM), considering influences that occur before, during, and after the growing season. The remaining 22 chapters highlight individual crops, providing detailed descriptions of diseases from the areas in which the crops are grown, color images of disease symptoms for easy identification, and management practices that minimize negative effects on the environment and society.

Editors Clayton A. Hollier, G. Boyd Padgett, and Martin A. Draper have curated an easily understood text on plant diseases that will benefit academics, plant pathologists, and practitioners, in particular. This single volume boasts versatility and useability. Whether utilized as a textbook, field guide, or reference handbook, Diseases of Field Crops will answer your important questions.
