Manson Publishing, July 2010, Pages: 303
Now established worldwide as the standard guide to the recognition and understanding of the causes of deterioration in temperate and tropical fruits and vegetables, these superbly illustrated full-colour volumes (Volume 2) deal clearly, concisely and systematically with each of the main diseases and disorders, emphasising those of importance to international trade.
