The Plant Disease Clinic and Field Diagnosis of Abiotic Diseases

An aid to improve the diagnostic skills of plant professionals, such as county agents, plant science specialists and students, and agriculture inspectors, who already have considerable training in botanical and related sciences and experience in growing plants. Focuses on abiotic diseases, plant disorders commonly diagnosed in agronomy, forestry, and horticulture in the field and in clinics, but separate from those for which plant pathogens are isolated and identified. Suggests how to design, equip, and operate a modest plant disease clinic, and provides keys for identifying many plant pathogens. Includes a glossary without pronunciation.
