An important reference for plant pathologists and seed testing labs, this volume covers the central biological, commercial and policy aspects of seed health testing. The first section examines significant seedborne diseases from various regions around the world. This is followed by papers discussing the many policy issues facing government and commercial testing organizations. The third section describes new technical developments in seed health testing, particularly molecular techniques for detecting seedborne fungi and viruses, and the fourth section evaluates new methods in comparative tests. The volume concludes with a look at quality assurance in seed health testing labs and in the production of high quality seeds. The book is based on selected papers from the second International Seed Testing Association symposium, held in August 1996.
