St. Paul, Minn. (March 2016)--The Compendium of Corn Diseases series, first launched in 1973 to help scientists and professionals identify and manage corn diseases before they drastically affected yields, became one of the all-time best-selling books for publisher APS PRESS.
The highly anticipated fourth edition of this practical guide was published in March.
With nearly 15 years since publication of the third edition, the Compendium of Corn Diseases, Fourth Edition was completely reviewed and updated to deliver the newest management recommendations and diagnostic information available from the world’s top corn experts.
In total, the Compendium of Corn Diseases, Fourth Edition covers nearly 90 diseases and disorders of corn found in the field and in storage, including:
- Diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and parasitic seed plants
- Nutrient deficiencies and toxicities
- Air pollution, extreme weather, and other environmental factors
The Compendium of Corn Diseases, Fourth Edition has the most practical, up-to-date, and comprehensive management information available in one book. It includes detailed illustrated descriptions and field-tested management recommendations for each disease and disorder.
More than 300 high-quality color images are included throughout the book to help field staff, crop consultants, diagnosticians, state and provincial extension agents, and crop scientists more easily identify and treat specific corn diseases and disorders.
This latest edition also includes completely new sections on the use of fungicides for foliar disease management, combating storage molds, and an appendix that helps users match common names of corn diseases with the names of their pathogens.
