On the subject of plant pathology, perhaps all types of educational materials have been prepared except for one like a question bank of objective, multiple choice questions that are integral and important part of any examination system in educational institutes and job-providing institutions. It is often observed that students don't develop the right approach for preparation for an examination though they read a good number of recommended books and they falter on being faced with questions. However, a preparation for examination gives confidence when it is tested with questions at home. In this situation, a book like 'Objective Plant Pathology' gains importance and makes a preparation complete. The questions in this book are formulated from the entire content of all the books mostly recommended for any type of preparation of the subject Plant Pathology. Besides books, several journal papers and review articles have been consulted to present the up-to-date information on many aspects of the subject. This book contains questions that not only tests a person's knowledge, but also titillates one's mind to think, ponder, and analyze before answering. It is expected that the readers would be able to test their preparation as well as gain new insight into the subject while learning new and updated information through this book. With more than 3000 multiple choice questions on various aspects of the subject, this book can serve as a repository of objective questions in Plant Pathology. Solved question papers of M.Sc and Ph.D entrance examinations of the subject Plant Pathology and Botany of some years from reputed institutes are also appended in this book. (jacket)
