Pictorial Atlas of Plant Diseases in Tasmania

The atlas was produced by Dr Ziqing Yuan with the images collated over the past 10 years, working as a Senior Plant Pathologist with the Plant Biosecurity and Diagnostics Branch, Biosecurity Tasmania.

One hundred plant diseases caused by fungi and nematodes occurring in Tasmania and mainland Australia are presented in the atlas. Ninety two species of fungi and eight nematodes are illustrated morphologically, and in most cases the disease symptoms are also shown in the atlas.

The book covers a wide range of host plants in agriculture, horticulture and forestry and will become a valuable reference to plant pathologists throughout the country and internationally. The significant micrographs are also great resources for teaching.
