Book Description
The historical counties of Cheshire, Lancashire, Cumberland and the Isle of Man have a rich diversity of geology, landscape, vegetation and wildlife. This is an account of an important group of fungi, the rusts and smuts, which are parasites of plants. In the past many host species were seriously affected, including wheat, barley, maize, tea and coffee, with major economic impact. Today the use of agrochemicals and the breeding of resistant varieties have reduced the losses. However, should the coffee rust become established in Brazil the global economy could be affected. After a short introduction to the biology of rusts and smuts, the physical and biological environment of the North West and the Isle of Man is described. The main part of the book is a detailed catalogue of all the species recorded in the region. These records date back to the nineteenth century but are mostly concentrated in the last sixty years, up to the present day.

Book Description
The Giant Hogweed Heracleum mantegazzianum is a pernicious invasive species, with significant impact on human health due to its phytoxic sap. From its native area, the Caucasus, it has spread across Europe creating serious environmental and health problems. This book, the output of a three-year EU project involving 40 European experts, is an authoritative compendium of current knowledge on this amazing invasive plant and will facilitate improved management. It is an invaluable resource for both practitioner and student, and covers topics including taxonomy, genetics, reproduction, population ecology, and invasion dynamics. It also reviews the possibilities of mechanical, chemical and biological control.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
Plant diseases in ornamental, aromatic and medicinal crops are common in occurrence, and account for up to 12-20% yield losses. Diseases of Ornamental, Aromatic and Medicinal Plants is a unique reference aimed to fulfil knowledge gaps on this subject. Nine chapters cover major diseases and nematode problems in important ornamental plants (cut flowers, potted flowers, flowering geophytes, and turfs), medicinal plants (tuberous and non-tuberous) and aromatic plants. The book explains the etiology, symptoms, disease cycle, economic importance, distribution, and management of respective plants with advanced and sustainable approaches. The book is intended as a key resource for students, botanists and academics in plant science courses. It also serves as a quick guide for horticulture professionals and gardeners dealing with plant diseases and nematode infestations on premises.
British Rust Fungi

Book Description
W. B. Grove's British Rust Funghi, first published by Cambridge University Press in 1913, had long been the standard work on the subject. But it had grown increasingly obsolete in the light of the intensive research devoted to the group. As early as 1938, Dr Wilson, who was reader in Mycology at Edinburg University, was encouraged to prepare a new edition. Since then it became clear that what was needed was not a revision but an entirely new book. This was three-quarters complete in 1960, when Dr Wilson's illness and death again brought it to a halt. His colleague Dr Douglas Henderson then undertook full responsibility, completing the text and redrawing all the figures. This book was published in 1966 and is now being reissued. It covers all the species of Uredinales or Rust Fungi known in Britain at the time of publication and takes into account extensive research.
