Following the successful first edition, this revised and greatly
expanded edition Tomato Diseases: Identification, Biology and
Control is the definitive work on the diseases and disorders of the
tomato. The tomato is the world's most widely produced vegetable.
The number of diseases affecting the tomato is enormous: hundreds
of bio-aggressors, more than 50 non-parasitic diseases, plus new
and alarmingly frequent emerging diseases. Despite considerable
progress to curb these diseases, they remain a constant threat to
crops, often causing considerable damage. In such a context, the
identification, detection, knowledge and control of these
diseases-symptoms often can be very similar-are challenges that
this book will help overcome. Containing more than 900 color
photos, the book consists of two main parts. The first is designed
as a diagnostic tool, allowing the reader to alternate between the
observation of the diseased plant, environmental questions, and the
prioritization of differential diagnoses. The second part comprises
numerous information sheets detailing the characteristics of most
tomato pathogens, geographic distribution, impact on production,
types of symptoms, and life history of the plant. This section also
describes the range of plant protection and disease resistance
measures currently available. This unique volume is a comprehensive
overview of the latest scientific knowledge on parasitic and
non-parasitic tomato diseases worldwide. It will address the needs
of tomato producers and keen gardeners, as well as those of
researchers, teachers and their students.
