USEFUL FOREST PATHOLOGY REFERENCES
I include some useful general plant pathology and forest pathology textbooks, resource
books, regional disease guides, references to specific diseases, some journals in which forest
pathology papers appear, as well as useful web sites. Many of the books will be available to you
in the laboratory for your use. PLEASE DON’T REMOVE THEM FROM THE LABORATORY
WITHOUT PERMISSION AND SIGNING OUT FOR THEM.
