Review (by Malcolm Storey) | A dictionary of pests and diseases afflicting the World’s plants, especially crops and trees. Entries for the pathogens include a short description, often with many abbreviations which are obscure at first, host(s), distribution, vector. |
Errata, Corrigenda & Comments | Since the dictionary covers such a broad taxonomic range it would have been helpful to use the entomological convention of citing Order and Family against Latin binomials. |
