OverviewTake-all is the most important root disease of cereals worldwide and a major disease problem in British wheat. Regarded by many as intractable because of the lack of economic chemical controls and resistant cultivars, it remains one of the great challenges of plant pathology and serves as an ideal model for many of the problems of root diseases in general This book provides a commentary on the practical aspects of take-all research and on the perception of take-all since the last major book on this subject published in 181. Although it concentrates on the Uk and other parts of western Europe, the regional theme is developed through comparisons with approaches used elsewhere. One particular feature of the book is the inclusion of a comprehensive worldwide annotated bibliography of relevant literature published over the last 15 years. The book, an initiative of the IACR/ADAS/universities cereal root pathology group, contains the experience of several contributors with long and active careers in take-all research, or the advisory services, and is intended for all types of reader from grower to postgraduate.

Table of Contents1: Past and Present 2: Disease and Epidemiology 3: Take-all and Cereal Production Systems 4: Strategies for Management 5: The Pathogens and Related Fungi 6: The Disease: Field Techniques 7: The Future 8: Further ReadingReviews<br> With wheat continuing to be one of the world's major food crops, any disease that threatens it is of concern. Take-all disease is no exception; it . . . continues to cause major losses in much of the world's wheat growing areas . . . It has been 18 years since the last major book on take-all disease was published. The emphasis of this book is on Western European research . . . There is a very complete bibliography that includes references published since 1980. . . . One of the values of this book is the detail presented through the use of 107 figures and 78 tables. Many of these illustrations have not been previously published, and thus serve as a tremendous resource of new information. . . . This book is certainly a 'must-have' for all scientists involved in take-all research, and is highly recommended for those who are involved in small grain cereal production or are working in the area of soilborne plant diseases. --Quarterly Review of Biology<br> With wheat continuing to be one of the world's major food crops, any disease that threatens it is of concern.
