This volume considers ornamental bulbs, including the related storage organs of corms and tubers. An immense amount of research literature has been distilled, such that general principles are stressed throughout, but common examples are considered in some detail.

This book describes current knowledge of soils and turfgrass science as applied to the design, production and management of natural turf. The first five chapters cover general principles while further chapters apply these to specific contexts. These include golf courses and bowling greens, soccer and rugby grounds, cricket grounds, tennis courts, and horse racing tracks. There are also chapters on amenity grass and warm season turfgrass. The book is aimed at students taking courses in turf science and sportsground management, amenity horticulture, and landscape and recreation provision and management. It will also be a standard reference work for practitioners working in sportsground management or landscape architecture.

One of four volumes of work on the advancement of veterinary science, which is the result of symposia held in 1991 to mark the bicentenary of the formation of a formal veterinary profession in the English-speaking world. Volume 4 covers the growth of veterinary science and comparative medicine.

This book on agricultural management and decision making differs from other texts which tend to describe production economics followed by the presentation of analytical approaches. Instead, the processes of agricultural production and their management are couched in terms of activity analysis, since this permits greater integration of theory with practical evaluations. Analytical tools developed in the book involve the construction of spreadsheet models, and readers are able to construct their own PC spreadsheets from the book’s examples and case studies. Economic principles are presented that will assist in improving the design of agricultural processes and technologies, in guiding their appropriate combination in a business setting, and with the making of decisions through time and in recognition of noncertainty. Activity analysis models that allow the design and combination of agricultural activities to be optimized are also discussed. These include single versus multiple objective models, investment models, and approaches that allow decisions to be optimized under conditions of noncertainty

Nematodes are major pests of a number of temperate crops and can cause significant economic losses to farmers. This book provides a comprehensive account of such parasites, with chapters focusing on nematode pests of the main crops of importance in agriculture, horticulture and forestry. Written by leading authorities from the USA, UK, Canada, France, Netherlands, Australia, Bolivia and New Zealand, this book is a definitive reference work for plant pathologists in general, and nematologists in particular.

The Acari, comprising mites and ticks, form one of the largest and biologically most diverse groups of the Arachnida. They are worldwide in distribution and rival the insects in the extent to which they have successfully colonized terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Some are significant crop pests, while ticks are parasites on a wide range of vertebrate hosts. This diversity of modes of life is reflected in their morphology and life-history strategies. This book provideds a detailed introduction to the Acari, concentrating on their functional morphology, but also covering their classification and economic importance. It will serve as a text and reference for acarologists and advanced-level students taking courses in general entomology (which traditionally include acarology), invertebrate zoology, and agricultural, medical and veterinary 'entomology.'

The potato is economically a very important crop in many parts of the world. All improvements through potato breeding or biotechnology must be based on a thorough knowledge of potato genetics. This book fills a major gap in the current literature for an up-to-date account of this topic and its implications for crop improvement. Written by authorities from the UK, USA, Canada, Peru, Netherlands, Germany, Sweden and Poland, this major reference work will be indispensible for workers in plant genetics, breeding and biotechnology.

The book is based on papers presented at a conference held in Oxford, in March 1993, under the BRIDGE-COST-88 program developed by the Commission of the European Communities. A wide range of fungi, which are pathogens of a variety of crop and ornamental plants, is covered and the book is aimed at postgraduate students and research workers in mycology and plant pathology, including those involved in routine testing of plants for quarantine or other purposes.
