Plant Pathology and Plant Diseases

Publikation: Bog/antologi/afhandling/rapportBogfagfællebedømt

This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of plant diseases, including pathogens, plant-pathogen interactions, their management, and future perspectives. Plant diseases limit potential crop production and are responsible for considerable losses in agriculture, horticulture and forestry. Our global food production systems are under increasing pressure from global trade, climate change and urbanization. If we could alleviate the losses due to plant diseases, we would be able to produce roughly 20% more food – enough to feed the predicted world population in 2050.

Written by a group of Nordic professors and teachers of plant pathology who have collaborated for many years, the book gives expert and seamless coverage. Plant Pathology and Plant Diseases:

• Addresses major advances in plant-pathogen interactions, classification of plant pathogens, and the methods of managing or controlling disease;

• Is relevant for a worldwide audience, but offers a North European perspective in its selection of examples of plant disease;

• Features over 400 striking figures and colour photographs.

It is suitable for graduate students and advanced undergraduates studying plant pathology, biology, agriculture and horticulture.
