ORGANIC PLANT PROTECTION edited by Roger B. Yepsen, Jr., and the editors of Organic Gardening and Farming. Insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, bah! The truth is, anyone can nurture healthy crops of fruits and vegetables without using dangerous chemicals to "control" natural pests ... and this book, without a doubt, is one of the best places to go to learn how. ORGANIC PLANT PROTECTION first stresses basic preventive measures any gardener can take-such as developing healthy soil, using resistant crop varieties, and practicing companion planting—to avoid insect and disease infestations, and proceeds from there to describe the various "weapons"— traps, repellents, and biological controls—that can be safely put to work in the event that a problem does occur. Thousands of bugs and diseases—and how to prevent and/or get rid of them—are defined and described ... and a total of 200 color photos and line drawings make it easy for the reader to identify the most common maladies that befall backyard food plants. 688 pages. Hard cover. 67052 $12.96
