In the case of specific causal organisms, the perfect stage name (when known) is followed by the imperfect stage name in parentheses. Complementing this text and as an aid to the identification are numerous color photographs 1/, drawings 2/ and a brief diagnostic key. The text comprises a brief description of the major wheat and triticale diseases, insect pests, nematodes, physiologic and genetic disorders, and mineral and environmental stresses. It is intended primarily for agricultural researchers, technicians and farmers in developing nations, but will also be of value to others.
