Book
The gardener's guide to common-sense pest control : completely revised and updated / William Olkowski, Sheila Daar, Helga Olkowski ; coauthored and edited by Steven Ash.
In this revision of the 1995 original, the authors provide updated information on the control of all pests (insects and diseases) that can afflict lawns, food and ornamental gardens, and shade trees. For each pest, treatments are offered ranging from indirect strategies (such as pruning), through direct physical and biological controls, to least-toxic chemical controls. Easy-to-access finding guides make it a snap to find out what's bugging your plant.
