摘要

There are many weighty tomes dealing with various aspects of plant pathology, ranging from general introductory texts for students to texts giving detailed information on diseases of a particular crop. Amongst these are a few dedicated to the diseases of turfgrass. There are also texts dedicated to fungicides, their modes of action at the physiological and biochemical level and resistance management. The text reviewed here is, however, unique as it deals specifically with fungicide use on turfgrass; a topic I suspect is not covered to any great extent in general undergraduate degree programmes and for which knowledge would normally be gained 'on the job' and by talking to specialists.
