The small grain cereals wheat, barley, oats and rye are cultivated
worldwide. They form the foundation of most agricultural systems
and are essential in the manufacture of staple products such as
bread, pasta and fermented beverages. Reflecting the global and
economic importance of cereal crops, this book aims to make
identification of diseases afflicting them easier. Covering 40-50
of the most important pathogens in Europe, North America, Japan and
Australia, the handbook contains superb color photographs
accompanied by clear, concise descriptions of diseases with advice
on their control and is of use to plant health professionals,
growers, farmers, and students of agriculture.Diseases are
illustrated at varying stages of development and entries follow an
easy-to-use format. First the pathogens involved and their symptoms
are described; next information on the disease cycle is given,
covering epidemiological features and the form taken by the
pathogen in different climates. The section on economic
significance deals with effects on yield and the ecosystem, while
that on control advises growers on measures and techniques to
combat the outbreak of disease, including the latest chemical
treatments. For each disease, detailed references provide a key to
further reading.
