The purpose of this important book is to examine the development and exploitation (or potential for exploitation) of a range of non-chemical approaches to disease control, with a focus on the need for a greater understanding of crop ecology as the basis for effective disease control 606 $aPhytopathogenic microorganisms$xBiological control 606 $aPhytopathogenic microorganisms$xControl$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aPlant diseases 615 0$aPhytopathogenic microorganisms$xBiological control. 615 0$aPhytopathogenic microorganisms$xControl$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aPlant diseases. 676 $a632.3 676 $a632.96 676 $a632/.3 701 $aWalters$b Dale$0519117 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910830780303321 996 $aDisease control in crops$94067772 997 $aUNINA
