Out of print after its last publication in 1995 by Manson Publishing Ltd., London, this Timber Press reprint will provide entomologists, horticulturalists, pest control specialists, growers, and students with a reference to the recognition, biology, and control of pests of ornamental plants (with an IPM bent). Each major order and family of pest is addressed, with a description and color photos, followed by details on the pest's life history, the kind of damage caused, the severity of the plant's reaction, and appropriate control methods, beginning with the least environmentally harmful. Written by an English entomologist, the volume is written for Great Britain but, as the introduction observes, many of the pests addressed occur in other parts of the world, sometimes as accidental introductions.
