- Summary
- This highly informative reference/text discusses the critical role of host-pathogen interactions in developing new and alternative biocontrol agents that promote plant health and disease resistance in crop pathosystems.
- Containing over 1600 bibliographic citations, tables, drawings, and photographs, this practical reference is ideal for plant pathologists, microbiologists, agronomists, soil and corporation scientists, molecular and cell biologists, and biochemists, and serves as an important text for graduate-level students taking courses such as the Biological Control of Plant Disease in departments of plant pathology and agronomy.
