Features: This book retains the original format, style, and characteristics of the first edition. What's different is: (1) The content has been expanded, with the page count doubled. The number of vegetable species affected by pests and diseases has increased from 11 to 19, and the total number of pests and diseases has risen from 92 to 232. (2) Each pest and disease now includes enhanced sections on disease diagnosis, pest identification, and control measures. (3) The control measures section provides more detailed information on agricultural, physical, and biological control methods. (4) Chemical control measures, in addition to commonly used conventional pesticides, focus on introducing new agents suitable for pollution-free vegetable production.
Since its publication in 1995, Colored Illustrations of Vegetable Pests and Diseases Control has been widely welcomed by grassroots agricultural technicians and vegetable farmers. With the adjustment of rural industrial structures, vegetable production has developed rapidly, and in many regions, it has become a major pillar of the rural economy. Currently, the variety of cultivated vegetables has increased, and cultivation methods are diverse and complex, leading to more severe pest and disease infestations. To ensure the safety of vegetable production and guarantee high-quality, hygienic vegetable products, higher requirements have been placed on pest and disease control.
Under these new circumstances, the original book can no longer fully meet the rapidly evolving needs of pest and disease control in vegetable production. Therefore, with the organization and support of China Agricultural Press, this new edition, Colored Illustrations of Vegetable Pests and Diseases Control, has been rewritten.
