Text-Book of the Diseases of Trees (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Text-Book of the Diseases of Trees The foundation of a science of Mycology by Berkeley, de Bary, and Tulasne, pursued by Brefeld, Zopf, and others, has led to a knowledge of the biology of fungi highly creditable to the industrious observers who have explored this domain of the vegetable kingdom; while the gradual building up of the science of plant-physiology from the days of Knight and Hales, De Saussure and Boussingault, to those of Sachs and Pfeffer, has placed us in possession of a vast amount of information as regards normal life processes in plants. Until much more recently, however, it cannot be said that we have had a science of the pathology of plants - i.e. the study of abnormal physiology - of anything like the same importance, in spite of the splendid and progressive attempts of Berkeley, Frank, and Sorauer to found one. In the particular department he has cultivated, Robert Hartig has succeeded in founding a plant-pathology really worthy of the name, and I would especially emphasize this, that his researches are so thoroughly elucidative of pathological phenomena, in that he studies not only the nature of the structural lesions and of the physiological disturbances consequent on these, but also the factors of the environment which throw light on the question.

Product Description:
Excerpt from Text-Book of the Diseases of Trees
Some fifty years ago a number of able investigators, of whom only Saxesen, Th. Hartig, and Ratzeburg need be named here, applied themselves to the study of insects. The life-history of forest insects, their harmfulness or usefulness, soon became the favourite study of many practical foresters, and in a few decades the joint efforts of numerous workers were rewarded by the elevation of Forest Entomology to the position of a much appreciated subject of scientific instruction, which has become the common property of all educated foresters.
The case was otherwise with those plant-diseases which cannot be ascribed to the injuries of animals. Their investi gation was delayed until quite recently; for it was only after botanical science, by the aid of its chief instrument, the microscope, had obtained a clear insight into the normal strue ture and vital phenomena of plants, and especially after the study of fungi had been prosecuted in the last few decades by a series of distinguished investigators, that the examination of the phenomena of disease in the life of plants could be undertaken with a prospect of success.
