Acknowledgements
The 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 in this section is to identify all individuals who worked on the 2020 version of the 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 Erik Ackerson for his skill in copyediting and desktop publishing and to publishing managers Phillip Brown and Jim Sloan, who keep all the books moving along toward publication.
A personal acknowledgment from Jay to his family: Jacob, congratulations on graduating from WOU and landing a job you like. Lucas, you are one heck of a good cook and keep up with your studies at LBCC. I will always love you both. To my wife Kim, your support is invaluable for getting this book finished every year, many thanks. Ian, drive carefully to Newport and I hope you get into the law school of your choice. Erin, congratulations on graduating from U of O. The time will go by quickly getting your teaching degree at PSU. Love you all!
