Ornamental plants are sold on the basis of their decorative appeal and any obvious faults reduce saleability. Diagnosing faults can be difficult. It is like solving a puzzle; analysing the symptoms of the plant and examining possible suspects - the various pests, diseases, deficiencies, toxicities or disorders.
Well-known horticulturists, plant pathologists and entomologists have contributed to this 170-page illustrated guide, which contains:
• diagnostic keys to plant damage
• details of symptoms of disease-causing micro-organisms, pests, physiological problems and nutritional disorders
• 138 full-colour plates to illustrate symptoms and pests
management methods based on the biology of the plants and the organisms that cause them harm.
Ornamental Plants: Pests, Diseases & Disorders will be an invaluable reference book for commercial and amateur ornamental plant growers, as well as agribusinesses, horticultural consultants and students.
