Features: Tomatoes prefer warmth but are not tolerant to extreme heat. They have relatively high requirements for water, soil, and fertilizer, and cultivation techniques are relatively easy to master. However, pest and disease damage are very severe, with mild cases reducing yield by 10-20%, and severe cases leading to total crop loss. The authors of this book conducted investigations on tomato production sites and referred to a large amount of scientific and technical literature to compile Tomato Pest and Disease Control. The book includes 40 types of tomato diseases (including infectious diseases, physiological diseases, and chemical damage) and 6 types of insect pests. For each pest and disease, typical symptoms and morphological characteristics are accompanied by color illustrations to facilitate field identification. The textual descriptions are written in a clear and accessible manner, providing concise explanations of pest and disease damage symptoms and occurrence characteristics, while also emphasizing the introduction of relevant control methods. This book is suitable for grassroots agricultural technicians and as a reference.
