approach to garden pests and diseases explains how you can stop many problems emerging at the outset - understanding what it Is that plants require and how they work. In this highly authoritative practical reference book, Stefan Buczacki uses his skills and knowledge as a gardener and a scientist to help everyone grow thriving plants in a healthy garden.
Part 1 tells you how plants work, how they are named and grouped, what they need to survive and when they are at their most vulnerable. By understanding these principles you can limit the number of problems to which your plants will succumb. Then, by discovering the processes by which pests and diseases take hold, you can further reduce the Impact of these on your plants. Few plants give up without a fight and there are numerous gardener's tips to help eradicate even the most tenacious problems. Understanding more about your garden - seeing how artificial an environment it is - and looking at weather, climate, soil, location, and the effect of weeds, all helps to put plant problems in their context often minimizing their impact.
Part 2 provides the nitty-gritty of how to conquer problems once they do take hold, using a variety of methods - cultural, physical, organic, commonsense (feed it, move it, mulch it, protect it) and traditional (fungicides and Insecticides). A quick reference section offers instant identification, description and advice on the 100 most common plant problems. Then a series of identification keys lead you to any commonly known weed, pest, disease and disorder of the plant world. To use the keys effectively, all you require is a good visual reference of the plant problem - then just follow the directions.
Whether you seek a broad based understanding of what is going on in your garden or a quick fix to a particular problem, Stefan Buczacki's Plant Problems will provide the answer, leaving you more time to get on with the real business of gardening. Vissza
