Approximately 50% of the grain produced in the United States is exported. To reap the greatest economic returns, farmers must keep their wheat crops as healthy as possible. But given the many diseases that exist in wheat production, farmers may struggle to diagnose and manage diseases of importance.With easy-to-use keys and cross-referencing tools that enhance efficient diagnosis, A Farmer's Guide to Wheat Diseases helps growers pinpoint diseases and disorders in the field. The management recommendations it offers are intentionally general and meant to give growers and crop specialists a starting place to discuss more localized treatment recommendations with Extension or crop specialists in their region.This highly accessible guide has these features:An easy-to-follow introduction to wheat diseases and disordersA nontechnical overview on diagnosing wheat diseases in a field settingDisease descriptions organized by part of the wheat plant affectedDisease distribution maps to help narrow the search for suspect diseasesBasic instructions for using diagnostic and scouting tools, such as hand lensesA glossary defining the various diseases and diagnostic terms used in the bookA collaborative effort, this book compiles the knowledge and expertise of 43 contributors from more than 25 universities and agencies. The result is the first comprehensive overview of wheat diseases across the United States and Canada written and priced for farmers.This is the third book in the successful Farmer's Guide series, which also includes A Farmer's Guide to Corn Diseases and A Farmer's Guide to Soybean Diseases.
