About the Author

Joseph M. Ogawa, Professor and Plant Pathologist at the University of California at Davis, was born in Fresno County, California, and so grew in the middle of one of the state's prime agricultural areas. He received his B.S. and Ph.D. at UC Davis, where his studies included plant pathology, pomology, and viticulture. Dr. Ogawa then went on to teach alongside many of this former professors. Among his many published works is the 1979 Fungal, Bacterial, and Certain Nonparasitic Diseases of Fruit and Nut Crops in California, written in collaboration with E. E. Wilson, which serves as a basis for this book. Harley English is Emeritus Professor of Plant Pathology at UC Davis, and at one time taught Dr, Ogawa. Born in eastern Washington, Dr. English studied at Washington State University, where he received his B.S. and Ph.D. After earning his degrees, Dr. English worked briefly for the USDA, and for the past 43 years he has been on the UC Davis faculty. His publications include Principales enfermedades de los frutales de oja caduca en Chile, a comprehensive guide to the diseases of deciduous fruit crops in Chile co-authored by A. Pinto de T.

Both authors are fellows of the American Phytopathological Society and the recipient of many honors. Taken together, their distinguished careers span more than 100 years, and their studies have taken them to fourteen countries on five continents.
