Synopsis
Excerpt from A Handbook of the Fungus Diseases of West Indian Plants: With Six Illustrated Plates
During the past year the author of the following pages has been engaged, by kind permission of the Director of the Royal Gardens, Kew, in mycological work at the Jodrell Laboratory. This work, carried out under the guidance and advice of Mr. George Massee, Chief Assistant at the Royal Herbarium and Plant Pathologist to the Board of Agriculture, has included a study of a considerable mass of material sent to 'kew from various tropical colonies, and has led the author to make for his own use a general survey of the principal West Indian fungus diseases of plants, and also of other tropical fungus diseases. The following pages are published with the hope that they may prove useful as a summary to workers in tropical agricultural departments, and that there may be set before the planters in the West Indies an account of the pathological effects caused by their fungus pests and an indication of the methods of treatment which have been recommended from time to time.
It has been thought fit to include along with the diseases which have been reported to occur in the West Indies the more important diseases of the same crops when they are cultivated in other parts of the world.
The introduction contains some general remarks on parasitic fungi, a brief discussion of the methods of treat ment most commonly in use for fungus diseases and an indication of the more important problems which are connected with the study of plant pathology in the West Indies at the present time.
A diagnosis of each parasitic fungus has been given wherever it was possible to do so, and, in the more important diseases, the methods of treatment which have been actually recommended, or which would appear likely to prove effective, have been included.
