Whether they are called peppers, chiles, paprika, or ajis, plants in the
genus Capsicum, are among the most important spice and vegetable commodities
worldwide because they are used in so many different types of food. Like
other crops, peppers are afflicted with diseases, disorders, and pests that
can reduce fruit quality and yield.
Will ship March 2003.
The Compendium of Pepper Diseases provides a comprehensive presentation of
the important pepper diseases of the world. With the help of 122 color
photographs and thorough descriptions of pathogens, this valuable reference
enables readers to easily identify diseases on the basis of symptoms and
formulate field and laboratory diagnoses of diseases caused by bacteria,
fungi, viruses, parasitic angiosperms, and nematodes.
Readers will also learn about the geographical distribution and impact of
each disease, control measures, and epidemiological aspects of diseases as
well as gain knowledge on plant health problems associated with arthropods,
nutritional deficiencies, herbicide injuries, and other abiotic causes. This
compendium also includes sections discussing the botany of pepper, current
production practices, and postharvest damage to pepper fruit.
Edited and authored by 39 professionals with international expertise in
pepper pathology in several unique production areas and in diverse areas of
pathogen expertise, the Compendium of Pepper Diseases will prove invaluable
to growers, extension agents, county agents, crop production specialists,
researchers, plant pathologists, horticulturists, agronomists, agribusiness
professionals, educators, students and anyone interested in the diagnosis or
management of diseases of pepper crops throughout the world.
