he information in
this handbook has been compiled from many sources. We sincerely
appreciate the time and effort that everyone spent preparing and
reviewing this material. Many of the past authors and contributors have
been identified in the 2004 PNW Plant Disease Management handbook, our 50th edition.
Our attempt here is to identify all
individuals who worked on the 2011 version of the PNW Plant
Disease Management Handbook whether their
effort was great or small. Those acknowledged as authors or contributors
have
written completely new sections or conducted major rewrites of existing
sections. Reviewers helped read through and verify the existing information.
Special thanks go to to Erik Ackerson for his skill in copyediting and desktop
publishing and the Extension and Experiment Station Communications team of Mark Anderson-Wilk
(Publishing Leader) and Jennifer Alexander (Publishing Manager) who keep all the books moving along
toward publication.
Support for on-line delivery has been provided by Hans Luh and Leonard Coop
of the Integrated Plant Protection Center at Oregon State University. Special thanks to Sue Jepson
who does an outstanding effort each year updating the web site and catching those hard to find
mistakes in the print version.
Programming of the online guide was done by Eric T. Peterson. The
introductory page layout, masthead and buttons were designed by Pam Van London of Be Proactive! Additional
programming and maintenance of this website has been by
Bryan Capitano of
Capitano NetSolutions, Inc. Hans Luh reprogrammed the
entire site after the Feb 2011 crash. His effort is very much appreciated.
Finally, a personal acknowledgment from Jay to his family: Jacob, keep at it and you will find your passion.
Lucas, work hard and you will enjoy the benefits for a long time to come. Remember, I will always love
you both. To my Fiancée Kim, I look forward to a wonder life with you and your family!
