Bushnell W.R., Roelfs A.P. (eds.) Cereal Rusts. Volume 2. Diseases, Distribution, Epidemiology, and Control

Academic Press, 1985. — 592 p.
ISBN 0–12-148402-5.Volume II is devoted to individual cereal rust diseases and their distribution, epidemiology, and control. The major cereal rust diseases are wheat and rye stem rusts, wheat leaf rust, stripe rust, oat stem rust, crown rust, barley leaf rust, corn and sorghum rusts, and sugarcane rusts. Coverage of each is presented in an individual chapter. The distribution and economic importance of the cereal rust diseases on a worldwide basis are presented in a separate chapter.
The chapters on epidemiology of Australia and New Zealand, Europe, the Indian Subcontinent, and North America demonstrate longdistance spore dispersal, genetic epidemiology, overwintering foci, weather trajectory studies, continental epidemics, and disease modeling and simulation.
Disease control is approached through host resistance of race-specific and non-race-specific types, strategies of using and deploying resistances, and methods for evaluating fungicides.Contents:
