This book analyzes the cereal rusts, a family of parasitic molds that have historically devastated the cereal crops upon which humans depend, particularly wheat, barley, and oats. The author, a principal pathologist at the USDA, presents a deep dive into the species and strains of rust, their life cycles, and their interactions with their cereal hosts. Not only is this text taxonomically significant, but it also includes a thorough examination of human attempts to control rusts. This book will be particularly useful to students of plant pathology, cereal science, and agricultural history.
