Diseases of Turfgrasses

By Houston B. Couch

Recognised as the basic reference on turfgrass pathology, this work has been updated for the first time in 20 years. This new edition contains comprehensive treatment of diseases of turfgrass. The book has been designed as a practical manual for all those engaged in turfgrass management and is specifically directed to plant pathologists and agronomists. It can be used both as a thorough text and scientific reference manual. There are over 250 photographs, including 180 in colour, to illustrate the full range of symptoms for all major diseases. The new format gives a step-by-step understanding of the nature and control of senectopathic disorders, anaerobiosis, and root dysfunctions. It also contains a profile of each fungicide currently available for use in turfgrass disease control programmes. This should be a valuable reference for anyone with an interest in turfgrass.
