Pests of Fruit Crops: A Colour Handbook, Second Edition provides an
up-to-date illustrated account of the various pests of fruit crops
throughout Europe, many of which (or their close relatives) are
also present in non-European countries. In fact, several pose
problems on fruit crops worldwide. This authoritative book focuses
on insect and mite pests affecting fruit, hop and nut crops in both
temperate and subtropical climates. Pome fruits, stone fruits, cane
fruits, strawberries, bush fruits, hops, grapevines, citrus fruits,
nuts, figs and olives all receive attention. For ease of reference,
this new edition has been significantly rearranged so that, under
genera, species of pests are now listed alphabetically, and
nomenclature has been updated. The pests, most of which are
illustrated, are described, and details are given of their life
histories, distribution and status. Damage caused is also
indicated. The work is profusely illustrated with over 1,150 superb
colour photographs, and is an essential and invaluable source of
reference for both professional and lay readers-including extension
workers, consultants, scientists, students, fruit growers and
private gardeners. To help readers locate information on pests of
interest, alternative names for genera and species, and frequently
used colloquial names are cross-referenced in the pest index.
