Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a must-read for anyone working in the agricultural industry, especially those involved in viticulture, fruit tree cultivation, and other farming sectors plagued by crop disease. It's a foundational text on the subject of standardising fungicides and insecticides for large-scale use, penned by an experienced agriculturalist and pioneer in the discipline. The author presents well-researched and experimentally verified formulas for preparing these crucial pest control substances, as well as detailed advice on their application and storage. The book challenges outdated practices, confronts misnomers, and dispels myths that have taken hold in the field of plant protection, arguing for a more scientific and standardised approach that yields better results. By dispensing with local terms, synonyms, and inexact measurements, the author lays out a system that allows cultivators to communicate more effectively about the strengths and uses of different treatments. His aim is to see the standardisation of fungicides and insecticides become as common as it is with fertilisers, leading to a more informed and successful approach to plant health on a global scale.
