Disease control in crops : biological and environmentally friendly approaches /

This important book examines the development and potential exploitation for a range of non-chemical approaches to disease control, with a focus on the need for a greater understanding of crop ecology as the basis for effective disease control in the field. Chapters in the book include coverage of cu...
