This handy pocket guide gives you information and photographs for on-the-spot identification of diseases and growth problems afflicting seventeen common vegetables grown in Georgia. More than seventy vegetable ailments are described and illustrated, including various rots, blights, wilts, mildews, viruses, and rusts. The descriptions also include information on the source of the ailment, which ranges from insect infestation to adverse climate and soil conditions to the misuse of insecticides. Two indexes are included, one organized by vegetable name and one by disease and condition.
Rather than a traditional binding, the guide is drilled and bound in the upper corner, allowing flash-card-like pages to be fanned out and held next to affected vegetables for easier comparison and diagnosis. Popular with Cooperative Extension agents, this guide will also find wide use by farmers and gardeners, insurance adjusters, and suppliers of seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides.
