Edited by Dr. Richard Oliver and published by Academic Press, Agrios' Plant Pathology, 6th Edition provides an extensive reference on plant disease recognition and prevention. Built for undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, and active researchers in plant pathology and agronomy, this volume establishes a clear biological framework for diagnosing and managing plant health issues across agricultural settings.
The volume delivers broad coverage of abiotic, fungal, viral, bacterial, and nematode plant diseases. Readers examine fundamental biological concepts governing pathogen entry, host defense mechanisms, plant immunity, disease genetics, and epidemic dynamics across plant populations.
With case studies detailing plant genetics and modern disease management across multiple crop species, the text connects theoretical principles with agricultural practice. This reference supports academic study and professional research by linking pathogen mechanics directly to structured crop protection strategies.
