St Paul, Minnesota: The American Phytopathological Society, 1984. — 208 p. — ISBN 0-89054-063-2.This book is not intended to be an encyclopedia of tropical plant diseases, but is rather intended to lead the reader to literature on identification and control of diseases of the major tropical crops. Emphasis is given to crops grown in the tropics below 1000 m altitude. Crops grown at higher altitudes in the tropics usually are not included. The book also presents treatments of a few representative tropical diseases which students in tropical countries can study rather than, or in addition to, temperate diseases.The Tropics.
