Methods of Appraising Intensity and Destructiveness of Cereal Rusts With Particular Reference to Russian Work of Wheat Leaf Rust - Softcover
Synopsis
This book provides a detailed analysis of methods developed by Russian phytopathologists for determining the intensity and destructiveness of cereal rusts, particularly wheat leaf rust, one of the most destructive of cereal diseases. The author outlines assessment methods, including scales for estimating rust intensity and a groundbreaking approach that allows researchers to calculate the percentage of a leaf covered by rust pustules. These methods offer significant improvements over approaches used in the United States, which the author notes often significantly underestimate the extent of infection. The book also discusses the importance of determining not only the severity of infection but also its impact on crop yields. The author critically examines various approaches to this problem and presents a range of techniques for quantifying crop losses due to rust. Overall, this book offers a valuable resource for plant pathologists and agricultural scientists seeking to improve their understanding of cereal rusts and develop more effective strategies for controlling these devastating diseases.
