Honors

The National Association of Colleges and Teachers of Agriculture has awarded its 1998 Media Award of Excellence to UC Davis Professor James MacDonald, chair of the Department of Plant Pathology, for his instructional compact disc, "Turfgrass Diseases: Diagnosis and Management." The disc was co-authored by MacDonald and Gail Schumann of the University of Massachusetts, who wanted to take advantage of multimedia technology to provide a comprehensive treatment of turfgrass diseases. More than 65 diseases are covered in the CD, which contains illustrated keys to aid in disease identification and interactive, illustrated keys to many fungi and nematodes that attack turf.
