Fungi and Disease in Plants: An Introduction to the Diseases of Field and Plantation Crops, especially those of India and the East

Abstract

THE research work published from time to time by the staff of the Agricultural Research Institute at Pusa has shown a high standard, which is well maintained by this pioneer volume on the fungous diseases of field and plantation crops of India and the East, written by Mr. E. J. Butler, Imperial mycologist for India. When we realise what a dull book might have been compiled in the old “museum catalogue” manner, we gratefully extend a warm welcome to this volume, through which the spirit of research breathes so strongly.

Fungi and Disease in Plants: An Introduction to the Diseases of Field and Plantation Crops, especially those of India and the East.

By E. J. Butler. Pp. vi + 547. (Calcutta and Simla: Thacker, Spink, and Co., 1918.)
