This book presents basic information concerning viral-caused and viral-like diseases in many cultivated crops. The editors, internationally known plant pathologists, provide authoritative descriptive symptomatic signatures of virus diseases, to aid in the diagnosis and possible control of viruses. This handbook organises cultivated plants into groups according to their final destinations and uses after harvest - a useful grouping system that indicates that characterises various diseases, their resultant epidemiology and control measures within different plant groups.
