The Glossary of Plant-Pathological Terms contains approximately 7,000 entries. The general approach is practical and the intended audience includes everybody interested in plant pathology as a science or in management of plant diseases. The definitions are mostly concise but clear, sometimes including brief discussions of a subject. Semicolons separate different meanings in the same entry. Synonymy is treated in various forms.
Some entries consist of close alphabetical terms separated by commas.
Other entries are see references with the definition appearing in only one place. The authors selected entries based on their usefulness for plant pathology and the management of plant diseases. They also included common English words when they have a special meaning in plant pathology. It is strongly recommended for academic libraries with collections in agriculture and plant pathology.
