Abstract
WITH the rapid advances made in mycology and plant pathology throughout India during the past quarter of a century (since the late Sir Edwin John Butter was appointed the first Imperial mycologist at the Pusa Agricultural Research Institute) the time was fully ripe for the publication of a journal devoted to the interests of the Indian Phytopathological Society. In introducing the first number of the journal, entitled Indian Phytopathology, the president of the Council, Mr. J. F. Dastur, hopes that a still closer association and relations will be effected among members of the Society and other scientific workers, both in India and abroad. The interests of the Society extend over six areas or zones, namely, the northern Delhi, eastern, western, central and southern, and are watched over by Dr. Pushkarnath, Dr. Vasudeva, Dr. Mehta, Dr. Uppal, Mr. Kulkarni and Mr. K. M. Thomas respectively.
