This handbook on the management of plant pathogen collections was commissioned by the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF). Its purpose was to provide a reference for countries in the Southeast Asian region seeking to build specimen-based pest lists for plant diseases, to facilitate international trade in agricultural commodities. The program emphasises building the capacity of scientists in five key areas as follows:
  • surveillance for plant pests
  • diagnostics
  • specimen preservation
  • curation and collection management
  • data management
This handbook provides a summary of methods and techniques used in all disciplines of plant pathology, and includes information on the major groups of economically important pathogens, methods for collecting specimens in the field, growth media, isolation and preservation of specimens, as well as information and tips on how to manage a herbarium and a culture collection.
