The production of mushrooms (Agaricus bisporous) is a major, world-wide, highly mechanized process. Healthy crops are essential if yields,
quality and profitability are to be maintained. This book covers the recognition, biology, and control of pests and diseases which are
a major cause of crop losses. Up-to-date and intensely illustrated, Mushroom and Disease Control fully explores the important aspects
of pest and disease control. From changes in the management of pest and pathogen populations and new methods of crop production to the

practical applications for readers as well.
