At copyright acceptance page, enter course password: 28edrha and click "Accept". Click on the Documents tab. You will now see a list of pdf files with the author name, book name, and page numbers; these are your assigned readings organized according to my lecture schedule. In some cases, a single reading passage is divided into several smaller pdf files to hasten download time. You may elect to save a tree by not printing the article and reading it on the computer. The primary texts of Agrios and Lucas are also on reserve in the Plant Pathology Library (395 Borlaug Hall).
