Essential for all gardeners, horticulturists and naturalists, this
is a practical, highly-illustrated guide to dealing with disorders
that affect fruit, vegetables, trees and ornamental garden plants.
A revision of the highly acclaimed Collins Guide to Pests, Diseases
and Disorders first published in 1981, the book now features
completely updated text, the addition of several new pests and
diseases that have become a threat in the last decade, and an
impressive full colour plate section with over 600 photographs. The
Introduction provides general information about garden hygiene and
plant care and control, including an assessment of pesticides and
chemicals. Special attention is given to the increasing importance
of biological control in gardens. *The A-to-Z of Symptoms lists all
the common garden plants, and describes likely causes of problems
with leaves, shoots, flowers, fruit and buds, with cross-references
to the detailed entries in the main section of the book. *Pests are
arranged by groups of closely related organisms. Problems such as
eelworms, slugs, snails, aphids and birds are all dealt with.
*Diseases are organised on the basis of symptoms such as rusts,
smuts, cankers and rots. *Disorders, like mineral deficiencies and
genetic abnormalities, are grouped under the main factors causing
them - mechanical, climatic, nutritional etc.
