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 The book challenges outdated practices, confronts misnomers, and dispels myths that have taken hold in the field of plant protection, arguing for a more scientific and standardised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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. …

If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
