Features: With the reform and opening-up and the advancement of desiccation storage technology, persimmons have become increasingly widespread in fruit circulation, leading to significant economic benefits. This has boosted farmers' enthusiasm for planting persimmon trees and promoted the long-term development of the persimmon industry. Persimmon cultivation has also shifted from traditional scattered planting to orchard cultivation with specific plant spacing.
China has a vast territory with a wide range of climates, and the types of pests and diseases vary across regions, with different ones causing major disasters. To help farmers reduce losses caused by pests and diseases, the author has compiled decades of accumulated photographic materials into this book. The "Atlas" primarily features full-color images, supplemented by brief text, to introduce the symptoms and insect stages that harm persimmon trees, enabling farmers to conduct field diagnosis. It also proposes prevention methods based on the phenological stages of persimmon trees, allowing farmers to select targeted pesticides according to the local pests and diseases and their severity for effective control.
