Anna
L. Snowdon, PhD,
DIC,
University of Cambridge, UK.
Now established worldwide as the standard guide to the recognition
and understanding of the causes of deterioration in temperate and
tropical fruits and vegetables, these superbly illustrated full-colour
volumes (Volume 1) deal clearly, concisely
and systematically with each of the main
diseases and disorders, emphasising those of importance to international
trade.
Dr
Snowdon has designed each volume to be used in two different ways:
1. Full
colour photographs and practical text provide the basis for preliminary
identification by the owner or surveyor.
2. Using
the microscope drawings and references, diagnosis can then be confirmed
or modified by a specialist.
