This is an excellent introduction to plant pathology and the kind of book one tends to hold onto to use as a reference after finishing their coursework. I have known plenty of graduate students who've held onto their copies, and I've really never heard any serious criticisms of this book. The coverage is broad, and it will serve as a useful, interesting and highly readable reference for those with interests in bacteriology, virology, mycology, botany and a variety of other fields that overlap with aspects of plant pathology. Typically when I rate textbooks I am fairly harsh because the cost is generally high while contents often leave much to be desired. In my opinion this book is an exception, and I think the cost reasonably reflects the value of the information contained.
This is by far the best reference on the subject of Plant Pathology. It will be useful not only to plant pathologists, but to other plant scientists and biologists as well. George has done an excellent job in bringing his now famous textbook up to date. I have many books on Plant Pathology; this is by far the best. The fifth edition includes many new pictures and drawings to illustrate the concepts relating to diseases of plants. Plus many new sections dealing with the state-of-art of this science. George says this will probably be the last edition he will write. What a way to cap such an illustrious career!
I have been out of Phytopathology since the fall of 1971. Over the years I have; from time to time; skimmed journals like Mycologia and Phytopathology. So the old urge came back and I bought this text on the recommendation of a friend.This is an excellent text book on general plant pathology. The scope is extensive and I was delighted that a goodly portion of the book explores host pathogen interactions with a microbiological slant. My late, learned, and very noble professor, Dr. R. K. Hegde would have been thrilled to no end considering that the book generally follows his outlines of PL-PATH 600. Dr. Hegde Sir, whereever you are, remember that seminar in May 1968 on the basidiomycetous Fungi with Dr. C.S.Holton in the audience and your passioned pleas for more biochem data? Well those questions are explored to some extent in this book.If you have any interest in biology, microbiology, biochemistry, or plant science get this book. Most definitely a classic.
I purchased this required textbook for a graduate-level plant pathology class. The progression of information is very good (it builds upon previous chapters) but there are a lot of typos, which can be distracting.
Agrios has upgraded and improved his classic Plant Pathology textbook. I own the 4th edition, and I was uncertain at first if I should buy the 5th edition. It was defintely worth it. Not only is there considerable new information, there are also many more helpful pictures and diagrams. Plus, many of the old graphics that appeared in black and white in the 4th edition are in color in the 5th edition. I highly recommend it.
This new edition of Plant Pathology by George Agrios is great. Full color graphics and pictures made easy to understand many simptoms on plant diseases. Book structure and chapters has few changes. An aditional attemption on Plant Pathology History and some new technical features on Mol. Biology added. This is an easy understanding and basic book all Phytopatologyst must have as a basic tool for teaching or reading.
I don't have any bad points for the book, it is a complete book for a introduction to plant pathology. However the Kindle edition is not good at all, since it is impossible to relate the figures and the references in the text, and sometimes the figures are split in a way you cannot understand anything. THe Kindle edition needs to be improve a lot!
This book provides a good basic understanding of the various types of pathological organisms. It also presents examples of many of the disorders giving information from mode of infection to elements of control.
