Hardcover. Condition: New. The book consists of three parts. General principles of forest pathology are discussed in Part I. Following an account of the causes of the diseases, the plant parts affected are dealt with separately because the causal organisms, attacking seedlings, and also different parts of the tree belong to ecologically distinct groups. Part II deals with diseases of trees of the Indian subcontinent. An account is presented for all the diseases of forest trees in India occurring in other countries to interest international readers. For exotic conifers, which are mostly in trial stage in India, diseases recorded in India only are described, since diseases on them are fully described in other books. A feature that will be useful to readers who may not be familiar with Indian forests is the inclusion of silvicultural and management practices of major forest tree species as these may have a direct relation to the development of the disease. The causes, effects and control of microbial degradation of wood form the subject matter of Part III. Mycological details of pathogens have been published elsewhere by the author and are purposely avoided in this book to facilitate easy reading.

Condition: Good. This book is a HARD COVER. A lot of tears, dirty marks and wear on jacket. Also a personalised message signed by author on first blank page and some light foxing on outer edge of pages on top of book. Content is fine.
