Résumé : | The first edition of the Compendium of Turfgrass Diseases proved to be a popular resource. Since its publication in 1983, more than 18,000 copies have been purchased for use in numerous countries on all continents except Antarctica. In 1990, The American Phytopathological Society requested that the author. Dr. Richard Smiley, incorporate recent advances in turfgrass pathology by preparing a second edition. Drs. Peter Dernoeden and Bruce Clarke graciously accepted Dr. Smiley's invitation to share this responsibility. Their many suggestions and contributions strengthened the second edition and assured that it too is an authoritative treatment of turfgrass diseases. This edition of the compendium is intended to again serve as a general and practical reference for all those involved in the culture of fine turf. It is designed primarily for people whose training in plant pathology is limited and for pathologists who are inexperienced in diagnosing turfgrass diseases. The compendium will continue to be a valuable resource for professional turfgrass managers; turfgrass management and disease consultants; agribusiness research and sales representatives; officers in departments of agriculture and regulatory agencies; garden center personnel; county extension agents and advisory officers; technicians in plant disease diagnostic clinics; and instructors and students of turfgrass management, landscape architecture, plant pathology, vocational agriculture, and related fields. This book blends descriptive terminology with the more technical language of plant pathology to better serve the diverse levels of knowledge and skills of the intended audience. The text is complemented by numerous illustrations of turfgrass diseases, photomicrographs of many pathogens, keys to diseases and to many genera and species of pathogens, diagrams of disease cycles for several classes of pathogens, a glossary of terms, and an index. The book includes sections that briefly describe characteristics of the host grasses, the damage caused by noninfectious entities in the turfgrass ecosystem, the ecology and taxonomy of pathogenic fungi in turf, and steps to be followed during elementary diagnostic procedures. As with the first edition, emphasis is on diseases occurring in North America but not to the exclusion of those affecting turfgrasses elsewhere. Coverage is given to diseases as they occur on the most common grasses maintained as lawns, sports fields, golf courses, bowling greens, sod production fie lds, and utility areas, such as along roadways and airport runways. Diseases of inflorescences and culms have again been excluded. The control measures described are presented as principles or strategies, because specific measures vary greatly with individual circumstances. Detailed information on currently recommended control methods should be obtained from local extension agents, advisory officers, or crop protection specialists. It is not possible in a book of this type to catalog all appropriate references; selected references serve only as general access points to more comprehensive literature The second edition differs from the first in that it became necessary to exclude several illustrations, keys, and tables and the world checklist of diseases to accommodate the new sections on diseases described since 1983. Approximately one-third of the photographs in the first edition were replaced. Unlike the first edition, the text was not reviewed by the 14 scientists from 12 countries who contributed to the first edition. Nevertheless, this revision has benefited from the reviews of many scientists. Each section was reviewed by the three authors and approximately half of the sections were sent to specialists who reviewed them and, in some cases, provided complete revisions. Over 40 scientists have contributed directly to the information contained in this book. |
