Pests and pathogens in the garden

3rd, improved, expanded edition There is an increasing emphasis on conscious, sensible plant protection in home garden cultivation as well. However, proper identification of pests and symptoms on plants is important for this. Once recognized, it is important to consider whether any protection is necessary or whether the nature of the damage and the extent of the damage do not necessarily justify it. If protection is warranted, before deciding to use chemicals, it is advisable to consider the simple, effective, and environmentally friendly alternatives available to protect our plants. If chemical plant protection is still needed, it should be done in a timely manner, assessing the risks of using plant protection products and keeping regulations in mind. The book helps garden lovers in this process by describing the most common pests and diseases of each fruit and vegetable, as well as major ornamental shrubs, and helps us make our decision with a number of photos and descriptions of control options.
