Synopsis

This work is intended to assist blueberry growers, crop consultants and other related workers to identify the symptoms, types of damage caused, and life cycle of the blueberry insect pests. Photos of the various stages of disease symptoms on different varieties make it a ready hands-on strength. The extended inclusion of photos of different developmental stages, taken from my original collection and assisted by brief descriptions, provides easy understanding to a common person. This work is solely presented to uplift blueberry growers, and the agriculture industry in particular, to understand, develop and propagate better crop growing and management practices for excellent crop yields.
