Plant Pathology 5th Edition by George N. Agrios is the most popular book for Botanist or plant pathology students, book is available for PDF download. Since the appearance of the 1st edition of Plant Pathology in June 1969, tremendous advances have been made both in the science of plant pathology and in the publishing business. New information published in the monthly plant pathological and related biological journals, as well as in specialized books and annual reviews, was digested and pertinent portions of it were included in each new edition of the book.
Considerable chapters describe diseases caused by fungi and those caused by bacteria, which have been organized in logical, cohesive groups according to their most important symptoms. Diagrams of disease cycles, groups of pathogens and symptoms, and techniques and concepts of plant pathology are incorporated in each chapter. Moreover, this edition provides numerous photographs (macroscopic, microscopic, electron micrographs, and scanning electron micrographs) that illustrate concepts, pathogens, and symptoms.
Among the microbial plant pathogens, the fungal pathogens have more elaborate structural features and they were the first to be demonstrated to be the causative agents of plant diseases. This volume aims to provide required information on various techniques for the detection, differentiation and quantification of fungal plant pathogens in infected plants, planting materials, environment, as well as accurate diagnosis of the diseases even in plants and plant materials that may not exhibit any recognizable symptoms of infection. The efficacies of different techniques are compared; their limitations are indicated and the suitability of the techniques for large scale application is highlighted. The important role played by the disease diagnostic centers, plant quarantine and certification programs in providing advice to the growers, prevention of introduction of new diseases and establishment of disease-free nuclear stocks has to be realized and necessary facilities should be provided for their efficient functioning.
