Ipm for Gardeners: A Guide to Integrated Pest Management (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781604690613)

Since the publication of Silent Spring in 1962, interest in alternative pest-management strategies has increased dramatically. As a way to reduce the use of pesticides and keep plants healthy, integrated pest management (IPM) has evolved to emphasize prevention, early diagnosis (or "scouting"), and long-term control strategies -- not quick fixes. Many nurseries, land-use agencies, and public gardens now require the use of IPM as an intelligent, real-world system to raise plants in an environmentally responsible manner. Authoritative and packed with case studies, this volume promises to change the way we see our gardens.

This book is only available through print on demand. All interior art is black and white.
