About this book

Language: English

Originally published in French, this versatile pocket guide has 126 descriptive entries with more than 700 high-resolution colour photographs and illustrations to help identify pest problems and better understand the beneficial organisms present in strawberries, raspberries, and highbush blueberries. It is an excellent visual scouting tool when viewing symptoms, but also provides information about life cycle, conditions, and best practices with background information on the main phenological stages of the crops, diseases, insects and other organisms, screening and diagnosis. A useful glossary is included.

Diseases, Pests, and Beneficial Organisms of Strawberry, Raspberry, and Blueberry was created in response to a simple request from strawberry, raspberry and highbush blueberry producers in Quebec to provide photographs to help them identify problems in their crops. The guide clearly meets a need in the berry industry to facilitate crop monitoring and diagnosis in Canada, the United States, and should apply to other berry growing regions. This Guide will help advisers and the berry producers they serve to manage their crops more effectively.
