Take-All Disease of Cereals : A Regional Perspective (CABI Publishing)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Take-all is the most important root disease of cereals worldwide. Regarded by many as intractable because of the lack of economic chemical controls and resistant cultivars, it remains one of the great challenges of plant pathology and serves as a useful model for root diseases in general. This
book provides a commentary on the practical aspects of take-all research and on the perception of take-all since the last major book on this subject was published in 1981. Although the volume concentrates on the UK and other parts of western Europe, the regional theme is developed through
comparisons with approaches used elsewhere. The book features a comprehensive worldwide annotated bibliography of relevant literature published over the last 15 years. An initiative of the IACR/ADAS/Universities Cereal Root Pathology Group, the book also features the experience of several
contributors with long and active careers in take-all research, or the advisory services, and is intended for both growers and researchers.
