Edited by R. Michael Davis and Richard N. Raid "This is a book useful to anyone working with umbelliferous crops." -- Nematolgia Meditterana SCROLL DOWN TO ORDER THIS TITLE. Compendium of Umbelliferous Crop Diseases provides an international account of umbelliferous crop diseases and practical guidelines for control. The compendium begins with an overview of the origin and domestication of carrots and celery, carrot and celery production, the causes of umbelliferous crop diseases, and information pertaining to breeding for disease resistance. In addition to carrots and celery, diseases of parsnip, cumin, coriander, parsley, caraway, and cilantro are included. The compendium describes infectious diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, nematodes, viruses, and phytoplasmas as well as noninfectious disorders caused by air pollution, allelopathy, mineral deficiencies and toxicities, pesticide-related injury, and many others. The description of each disease includes a general overview of its importance and world distribution, symptoms, causal organism or agent, disease cycle and epidemiology, control, and selected references. Control measures stress general principles and cultural practices that apply to most growing areas. This useful reference is ideal for plant pathologists, crop production specialists, growers, diagnostic clinicians, students, regulatory agents, crop consultants, educators, researchers, extension personnel, and others interested in the diagnosis or management of diseases of umbelliferous crops throughout the world. 2002; 8 ½” x 11” softcover; 110 pages (est.); 136 color photographs; 16 black and white illustrations and photographs; ISBN:0-89054-287-2 Table of Contents Introduction: Origin and Domestication of Carrots; Carrot Production; Origin and Domestication of Celery; Celery Production; Causes of Diseases of Umbelliferous Crops; Breeding for Disease Resistance in Carrots; Breeding for Disease Resistance in Celery.
