So much information but all of it useful. Whether you are an organic farmer, a backyard gardener or somewhere in between you will benefit from perusing this tome for advice every time you have a pest issue regardless of its form (animal, mineral or vegetable). I have an organic farm and have recommended this latest edition to everyone that will stand still long enough to listen.
Anen
Okay
Vutaur
Colorful, complete, reliable whether at beginning, middle or conclusion of a pest control search. Highly recommended.
Marilace
The most complete review of pests, and how to deal with them when needed in the most environmentally safe manner.
Mautaxe
Good!
Vosho
It's missing a lot on entomology. The section it does have is pretty brief. Overall it's a good guide, but it is not a good reference to troubleshoot sick plants.
Karon
Great integrated pest management without using nasty pesticides. I showed it to a Master Gardener and she is getting a copy to add to her library.
Definitive, concise, great pictures, one of the best trouble shooting guides on the market.
