Résumé : | The second edition of the Compendium of Strawberry Diseases, like the first edition, is designed to aid plant pathologists and other agricultural workers in the diagnosis of strawberry diseases. It is designed especially for extension or advisory plant pathologists who have access to a microscope and for plant pathologists who have limited experience with strawberry diseases. The compendium should also be useful to plant disease consultants, advisers in state agriculture departments and federal regulatory agencies, agri-business representatives, county agricultural agents and area specialists, teachers of plant pathology and vocational agriculture, students, growers, and researchers in all countries where strawberry is grown. The second edition has been greatly revised. Although containing fewer pages, it incorporates more information, with up-to-date contributions by authors from around the world, and more color plates than the first edition, to increase its usefulness for quick and accurate disease and pest identification. Greater emphasis also has been placed on diseases of paramount importance in strawberry culture internationally, such as anthraenose, Botrytis rot, and virus and viruslike diseases. The revised edition reflects changing cultural methods, cultivars, and expansion of strawberry culture as a major crop in many countries, from the humid tropic climate of Indonesia to the cold temperate climate of Scandinavia. The contents of the compendium are organized according to the causal agents of diseases, disorders, and injuries. Part I covers noninfectious disorders, caused by environmental agents such as air pollution, hail, and nutrition imbalances. Part II describes the infectious diseases of strawberry, caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses and viruslike pathogens (phytoplasmas and bacteriumlike organisms), and nematodes. Part III covers arthropod and mollusk injuries. The sections on plant nutrition and on arthropod injury are fairly extensive, because nutrition imbalances and insects and mites often are of major importance in strawberry cultivation and fruit production. In general, the descriptions of fungal diseases are organized according to the affected part of the plantfruit, foliage, crown, and rootsand in order of the relative importance of the diseases. Pathogens and pests that attack more than one part of the strawberry plant are cross-referenced in the text. Suggested control measures are purposely general, stressing principles and cultural practices that are not likely to become obsolete and that are applicable in various strawberry-growing areas of the world. Increased emphasis has been given to integrated pest management and the use of predators and other biocontrol agents as these practices become more entrenched in strawberry culture. For specific information on resistant cultivars and other control measures, the reader should consult recent literature, extension or advisory plant pathologists, or informed growers and nurserymen. |
