More information about plant pathogens can be found in the British Society of Plant Pathology’s Pathogen Profiles, which are regular features, providing an up to-date overview of the latest research on a particular pathogen. A list of profile summaries is available at http://www.bspp.org.uk/ [go to ‘Journals’ and then click on ‘Pathogen Profiles’].

Several US Universities place their teaching materials online. Among our favourites are the following:

The Master Gardener Resources in Plant Diseases at the Department of Plant Pathology of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA at this URL: https://pddc.wisc.edu/master-gardener-resources/

Department of Plant Pathology and Environmental Microbiology at Pennsylvania State University Plant Disease Identification and Control slide shows, blog posts and extension programs listed at: https://extension.psu.edu/pests-and-diseases/pest-disease-and-weed-identification/plant-disease-identification-and-control

The Plant Diseases pages on EDIS (Electronic Data Information Source) of the University of Florida’s IFAS (Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences) Extension Program at: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/topic_plant_diseases

The ultimate source of food and agriculture data is the Statistics Division of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations at http://www.fao.org/faostat/

Be warned: there’s a LOT of statistical data here. FAOSTAT provides free access to food and agriculture data for over 245 countries and territories and covers all FAO regional groupings with data from 1961 to the most recent year available (which usually means to the year before the current one).
