Item No. 46789; 8.5" × 11" hardcover; 488 pages

“….highly recommended for scientists, extension workers in plant protection, agronomy and horticulture.”

—Journal of Phytopathology

Mineral Nutrition and Plant Disease was the first book to successfully combine the two important plant science disciplines of nutrition and pathology. For more than 15 consecutive years, the first edition was a top-five APS PRESS best seller.

The new second edition is even more useful, covering the latest advances and showcasing the most recent scientific findings in much greater detail than the original. Discussions of the relationships of macro-, micro-, and beneficial nutrients to plant diseases have been updated with current findings and new hypotheses. New chapters on selenium and the rare earth elements show their positive impacts on reducing the development of plant diseases. Exciting new developments in nanotechnology have been added to give insight to your understanding in this important area.

Within the original chapters, many updates have been provided by new authors:

• a better understanding of the role of nitrate in activating host defense responses

• greater attention to beneficial microorganisms and how they help with phosphorus uptake and interact with plant pathogens

• new findings regarding the effect of calcium on the activities of plant enzymes and their association with biological control

• a new section on soil fertility management to control diseases in conventional and organic agriculture

• new research on the effects of aluminum on plant pathogens and suppression of the diseases they cause in the context of mineral and organic soils

Readers will understand the physiological role of each element in the plant and how it contributes to disease, gaining practical and current information for immediate disease management and ongoing crop protection.

“Without any doubt this book will serve as an excellent source of useful information for plant physiologists, agronomists, and plant protection specialists as well as for university teachers and students. Therefore, I strongly recommend this book for all agricultural and natural sciences libraries.”

“This well-illustrated volume fills an important niche in books useful in the identification of poroid fungi, as these ubiquitous and important fungi are often seen in nature and serve a critical role in the ecology of forest ecosystems.”

—Amy Y. Rossman, Botany and Plant Pathology Department, Oregon State University, Corvallis

• Comprehensive update reflecting over three decades of research

• Illustrations of microscopic features and color macrophotos

Poroid fungi, commonly known as “polypores,” are among the most frequently encountered fungi throughout the year because of their large size and longevity. Despite their common presence in North America, most fungi guides include only a limited selection of poroid fungi.

Poroid Fungi of North America offers a necessary, updated account of these fungi, building on the foundational work of the original two-volume North American Polypores by R. L. Gilbertson and L. Ryvarden. This comprehensive update incorporates more than three decades of new research, featuring detailed keys, descriptions, and vibrant color macrophotos, as well as illustrations of microscopic features.

Authored by renowned Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden, co-author of the previous volumes and a series of regional guides to poroid fungi, this book reflects his extensive expertise, contributions, and dedication to the study of polypores. Richly illustrated, this volume fills a gap in mycological literature, offering a detailed guide for identifying poroid fungi.

Poroid Fungi of North America is an invaluable resource for a diverse audience, including amateur naturalists, professional mycologists, foresters, serious students, and nonspecialists.
