Plant Pathology by George N Agrios 4th Edition pdf Free Download


Introduction

This is one of the important book for Undergraduate and Post Graduate students appearing in field of plant pathology. This book cover overall aspects of the plant diseases like their identification, causative agents and their pathogenesis, and Control of the diseases. Not only the written text book consists of the colored picture and other illustrations to make the reading more interesting and easy to understand. 

Regarding the Book B. Williamson in EXPERIMENTAL AGRICULTURE  have argues that -"The Fourth Edition of this well-established text has created a classic textbook embracing the whole of plant pathology, ideal for undergraduate courses and for those associated with research and practice of applied plant pathology in all climatic regions. The new, larger format and extensive use of high quality illustrations (including colour plates) and the widespread use of annotated flow diagrams to show pathogen life cycles, the gene-for-gene concept, forecasting of epidemics and procedures for isolation and culture of pathogens are all exceedingly well done. I recommend this book highly for teaching and reference."
