About This Item
London: Collins, 2011. First edition. NEW. Well illustrated, large octavo, pp x, 500; the dustwrapper is not faded and is not price-clipped, STILL ENCLOSED IN THE PUBLISHER'S CELLOPHANE. [Ever since man first cultivated plants and grew crops, insects, mites and other creatures have risen to prominence as pests, but it is only throughout the last two centuries that we have come to study them in detail. Drawing on a lifetime of experience, David V. Alford provides a fascinating account of the natural history of the insects and mites that inhabit our farms and gardens, and feed on our cultivated plants. Coverage of pests includes aliens, and although the emphasis is placed on arable and horticultural field crops, pests of protected crops - both edible and non-edible are included. Details of pest life cycles, status, distribution and the damage they cause are examined. The author also explores the impact of pesticides, climate change and evolving crop management practices.]. First Edition. Cloth. New/New.
