Description

Unlimited use of biocides to control plant diseases is being viewed with increasing disfavor, and the standard combination of chemicals and disease resistant varieties of plants controls only 1/4 of the damage caused by plant diseases. This book teaches the reader the many effective (but not yet much used) alternative methods available for controlling fungal, viral and bacterial disease of plants.
