This updated edition of the classic handbook adapts scientifically based integrated pest management (IPM) techniques to the needs of the home gardener and small-scale farmer. As with the second edition, the manual covers insects, mites, plant diseases, nematodes, and weeds using IPM methods that rely primarily on organically acceptable alternatives and make minimal use of broad-spectrum pesticides. 125 common pests are described in individual sections, and crop-by-crop symptom identification tables guide you quickly to the information you need. In addition to adding more pests and expanding crop tables, the new edition of Pests of the Garden and Small Farm contains over 120 new full-color photographs.
