Handbook of Fungus Diseases of the Potato in Australia and their Treatment
by D. McAlpine, Government Vegetable Pathologist
hardcover in good used condition
Handbook of Fungus Diseases of the Potato in Australia, published in 1911, is a foundational text in Australian plant pathology. Commissioned by the Victorian Department of Agriculture, the book offers a comprehensive guide to identifying, understanding, and managing fungal diseases affecting potato crops in Australia. McAlpine meticulously documents various diseases, such as late blight and wet rot, detailing their symptoms, life cycles, and environmental conditions that favor their spread. He emphasizes the importance of selecting disease-free seed tubers and advocates for practices like crop rotation and proper storage to mitigate disease impact. The handbook is richly illustrated with 50 photographic plates and includes a folding map of Victoria's rainfall patterns, providing valuable context for disease prevalence.
