Presenting 9,000 terms that are used to describe all types of plants and plant problems, this time-saving reference eliminates the need for professional agriculturalists, scientists, and students to "puzzle out" the meaning of specialized plant science terms.Put together during the careers of two seasoned plant pathologists with a combined 85 years of experience, this glossary is the first to cover plant pathology-related terms from all plant science fields, including genetic engineering, molecular biology, agronomy, bacteriology, botany, floriculture, forestry, horticulture, mycology, nematology, and virology. The authors set down precise and accurate meanings for the widest possible range of words--from recently-coined terms to old phrases that are now obsolete. They include terms that are unique to plant pathology, terms from related areas of plant science, common words that have a special meaning for plant pathologists, terms that have changed in meaning over the years, and terms from other languages that are now commonly used by English-speaking plant pathologists.Having used earlier versions of this glossary in teaching college and graduate courses, the authors were able to refine or modify the definitions over an extended period. The result is a unique and valuable resource that will facilitate a common understanding of terms across the plant pathology spectrum, including plant pathologists for whom English is a second language.

This new handbook combines practical advice on setting up a plant disease clinic and methods for diagnosing plant diseases and disorders. Written by two veteran plant diagnosticians, it is the most complete resource available on how to offer an efficient, accurate diagnostic service to growers on a statewide or a county basis. It covers: The Plant Disease Clinic: This guide explains how to organize, equip, and operate a plant disease clinic. It offers precise details on how much space and what kind of equipment and supplies a clinic needs to handle specimens properly. Specific recommendations cover material and procedures needed to receive, store, examine, record, and report on specimens. Gathering Information: The authors describe how to gather information both by direct field observation and by indirect methods, including consultation with growers and specialists. They present step-by-step methods for scouting and monitoring fields with specific advice on how and when to collect samples, and how to look for clues to a disease's signature, including symptoms, field patterns, grower practices, and disease history. Diagnosis: This guide offers advice on creating a routine for handling specimens efficiently and making accurate diagnoses. It gives specific suggestions on what to do with a sample from the time it is checked into the clinic until it leaves, including how to conduct a preliminary examination and when to send the sample to a specialized laboratory for further analysis. To enable readers to work easily with all types of microorganisms, this volume includes recipes for over 200 culture media for fungi and bacteria, methods for temperature and humidity control, and information on fixatives, mounting and staining media, sealants for microscope slides, pH indicators, and buffers. It features advice on how to collect, prepare, and mail cultures and plant specimens. Key forms required by state governments are included for quick reference. Practical Advice: This guide is designed for agricultural inspectors, agronomists, county agents, plant diagnosticians, extension specialists, horticulturists, IPM consultants, plant pathologists, professionals at agribusiness companies, students, and teachers.

Use this new book to simplify diagnosis of nematode problems and identify plant-parasitic nematodes. With its descriptive key and detailed drawings, Diagnosing Plant Diseases Caused by Nematodes assists readers in differentiating plant-parasitic nematodes from free-living (microbivorous) nematodes found commonly in the soil around plant roots and within symptomatic plant tissue.This book features an extensive glossary of nematological and related terms, an appendix covering the five genera of nematodes and their 46 species presently implicated in transmitting plant viruses and an index which makes it possible to locate drawings of one or more representatives of a particular genus and a description of the general characteristics of the genus.Agronomy, forestry, and horticulture specialists will find this reference book helpful for improving their diagnostic skills in the field, laboratories, and plant clinics.
