This book has a multiple purpose firstly it is intended as a textbook covering the principles of seed pathology, for use in university courses at different levels. Secondly to provide a comprehensive reference book on seed-borne diseases, their detection, evaluation and control, for established workers in the following fields: university teaching and research; research at experimental stations; practical seed testing; formulation of quarantine regulations; techniques of quarantine inspection; development and testing of seed-treatment materials and procedures in laboratory and field; seed certification schemes; seed production; and the seed trade. This book also be used in courses for training technicians in seed health testing.
