It is not a theoretical textbook, but rather a summation of the author's findings through direct study and experimentation over the past year. The author is a leading expert in the field of economic biology, and this book is a continuation of his effort to provide farmers, fruit growers and others with practical information and guidance. There are various creatures of concern covered in this book, all of which have caused many issues for the agricultural sector either directly or indirectly. Animal pests covered include aphids, beetles, bugs, flies, moths, and weevils, while the fungal pests include species of mildews and rusts. Included are nearly 200 photographs and illustrations. The author provides straightforward, accessible guidance for identifying and treating various infestations, and includes a special appendix listing the relevant preventive and remedial measures for each disease or pest discussed.
