Pests of Fruit Crops is a revision and expansion of UK entomologist David Alford’s highly regarded Color Atlas of Fruit Pests. This edition provides an illustrated account of the various pests of fruit crops and now includes pests of fruit crops in temperate and sub-tropical regions. This useful resource describes many pest species, or close relatives of those, that cause problems in fruit crops worldwide. There are over 1,100 color photos and more than half are new color photos for this edition. In addition a new chapter has been added on pests of sub-tropical crops (particularly citrus, fig and olive). Pests of Fruit Crops targets insects and mites that affect pome fruits, hops, vines, citrus fruits, nuts, figs, olives and more. In all, more than 50 host-crop types are covered in the book.
The pests are considered in their natural sequence of less advanced to more advanced forms, including a description of each, its life history, plants affected and damage caused. Families of pests are arranged according to generally accepted systematic systems, species appear under scientific names and show common names. Detailed general and scientific indexes allow cross-referencing between fruit and pest.
Pests of Fruit Crops is an invaluable reference source for growers, scientists, instructors, advisors, consultants and students in horticulture, viticulture, agricultural, entomology, acarology, pest management, and crop protection.
