Plant Pests: A Natural History of Pests of Farms and Gardens (The New Naturalist Library) - Hardcover
Reviewing its subject on a crop-by-crop basis with particular reference to insects and mites, this guide covers a wide range of pests, detailing host crops, key pests, and the most interesting types irrespective of their status. Although emphasis is placed mainly on arable and horticultural field crops, pests of protected crops—both edible and non-edible—are also included. Details of the pests' life cycles, status, distribution, and the damage they cause are given, and natural enemies of pests are reviewed. The author also examines the impact of pesticides, climate change, crop management practices, and the on-farm landscape. Pests of cereals, oilseed rape and other oil and brassica seed crops, forage and fodder crops, potatoes, sugar beet and related root crops, field vegetables, and more are also discussed.

Book Description Condition: New. 400, . 216x149mm. HB. NEW. . First edition. Provides a fascinating account of the natural history of the insects and mites that inhabit our farms and gardens, and feed on our cultivated plants. How and why the different operations of cultivation affect their world, and why plant pests should not be viewed as different from other wildlife. Coverage of pests includes aliens, and although emphasis is placed mainly on arable and horticultural field crops, pests of protected crops - both edible and non-edible - are also included. Details of pest life cycles, status, distribution and the damage they cause are given, and natural enemies of pests are examined. The author also explores the impact of pesticides, climate change and evolving crop management practices. [9780007338498]. Seller Inventory # N18766
