Customer Reviews:
found to be useful.......2007-10-03
this book was well organized in its presentation of problems for each type of plant covered. set in A-Z format of common plant names (though Latin names are used as well), the editors (Barbara Ellis, and Fern Bradley)give several ways to combat garden issues from an organic methodology. most of the ways of working with organics that they outline are not high cost, but are high maintainence as is all organic gardening, if done right.
the book also covers some common insects a gardener would see and if they are beneficial or not and how to work with the beneficials (what to plant to attract, etc) and to control the "bad bugs". they also outline some diseases and how to fight those with organic methods. then they touch on other ways to fight garden pests (cultural, physical, and biological contols). they also talk about different organic dusts and sprays and how to use them effectively.
Organic gardener's bible.......2007-10-02
If you want to garden organically and can only afford to buy one book on insect and disease control -- this is it! I go for this book first whenever I think I have problems in the garden, in the landscape, in the orchard. It's an all around great reference book!
The Organic Gardener's Handbook.......2007-08-25
Excellent Book with lots of informative teaching! Money well spent. Fast and professional delivery! Much appreciated!
The most amazing book about pests and diseases!.......2007-07-21
This is so far the best book about pests and diseases. Easy to read, great ! photos which really help to identify a pest and good structure make this book a winner.
The Organic Gardener's Handbook of Natural Insect and Disease Control.......2007-07-15
Detailed descriptions and photographs combine to make this book essential for every organic (or conscientious) gardener/farmer to own and keep handy. We wish we'd bought it years ago.

Book Description
For many years the use of chemical agents such as pesticides and herbicides has been effective in controlling the many varieties of pests that infest both agricultural crops and backyard gardens. However, these pests are gradually becoming resistant to these agents, because the agents themselves are acting as selective factors making the pests better and better able to resist and persist. As a result, the use of biological controlling agents is increasing.
This book is a comprehensive and authoritative handbook of biological control.
Key Features
* Introduction (preface plus 2 chapters)
* Principles and processes (12 chapters)
* Agents, biology, and methods (6 chapters)
* Applications (10 chapters)
* Research (2 chapters)

Southern Living Garden Problem Solver.......2003-01-18
This is a book I have recomended to first time gardeners and people who have been gardening for quite some time. I have never been dissapointed with any of the Southen Living Gardening books, for clear advice. It is a good all around reference book.
I love this Garden Book!!.......2002-07-16
I have bought many gardening books that promise to help me solve my gardening problems. Most address some issues and a few were no help at all. This is not one of those books. This book covers a huge range of gardening problems and I have yet to refer to it and not have it give me some answers. It's a must for anyone looking for a solid all around garden book. Everything from lawns to vegitables to plants and shrubs. If you have a disease problem this book can help. If you need answers on why certain plants are dying this book can help. Do you have pest problems? Yep, this book can help. It's not a garden dictionary so it is not hard to read. I have finally found a book that I can use on a regular basis. I love it!
A "must have" for the Southern gardener.......2001-06-01
I refer to this book at least once or twice a week. My neighbors even ask me to look stuff up for them when they have a gardening question. It is very easy to use, and the author is very direct and to the point. The pictures are beautiful and inspirational, but this is not a book of lofty gardening ideals, it is an informative, how to achieve it, how to fix it and how to get started type of book. It can save both time and money by dealing exclusively with what works and what doesn't in various Southern climates. It is worth every penny.
Best problem solving book around.......2000-04-03
Another book has never been written so comprehensibly for the gardner from novice to pro. Direct information that is easily understandable that any gardner can immediately use to solve the problem. The pictures and descriptions of the problems that any gardner may experience are well written and accurate. A must have for any gardner because it saves time and money by getting you directly to the problem without having to go through several different "it may be this" or "it may be that" type descriptions found in other garden books.

Book Description
The 38 chapters of this
Field Manual provide the tools required for planning experiments with entomopathogens and their implementation in the field. Basic tools include chapters on the theory and practice of microbial control agents, statistical design of experiments, equipment and application strategies. The major pathogen groups are covered in individual chapters (virus, bacteria, protozoa, fungi, nematodes). Subsequent chapters deal with the impact of naturally occurring and introduced exotic pathogens and inundative application of microbial control agents. The largest section of the Manual is composed of 21 chapters on the application and evaluation of entomopathogens in a wide range of agricultural, forest, domestic and aquatic habitats. Mites and slugs broaden the scope of the book. Supplementary techniques and media for follow-up laboratory studies are described. Three final chapters cover the evaluation of
Bt transgenic plants, resistance to insect pathogens and strategies to manage it, and guidelines for evaluating the effects of MCAs on nontarget organisms.
Readership: Researchers, graduate students, practitioners of integrated pest management, regulators, those doing environmental impact studies. The book is a stand-alone reference, but is also complementary to the laboratory-oriented
Manual of Techniques in
Insect Pathology and similar comprehensive texts.

ANOTHER CLASSIC IN THE FIELD OF INSECT PATHOLOGY!!!.......2001-09-13
This is an excellent book, with lots of up-to-date information which will be of great use to those interested in microbial control of insect pests. It serves as a complement to Lacey's "Manual of Techniques in Insect Pathology." Unfortunately, the book is ridiculously priced, which will greatly limit its availability. Imagine spending over [price] in Latin America or Africa for ONE book. It won't happen.
Book Description
An updated classic—how top pros troubleshoot garden problems.
Informative: how to identify gardening problems indoors and outdoors.
Comprehensive: problem-solving techniques for lawns, groundcovers, flowers, trees, shrubs, vines, vegetables, and fruits.
Authoritative: adapted from the professional edition of The Ortho Problem Solver.
Customer Reviews:
For every gardener's bookshelf.......2003-05-24
Anyone who is serious about gardening needs this book. The four page section on "How a Plant Works" is crammed with valuable information that will help almost anyone become a better gardener. The book starts by helping the reader identify symptoms that will help you reach a diagnosis of the problem. Color coded pages lead you to the chapter you'll need - Lawns, Trees etc, then you'll find a photo illustrating the problem, a map to assure that it does indeed occur in your area, an analysis of the issue and suggestions for solutions or at least for ameliorating the problem.
There is a vast amount of information in this book, well, organized and very readable. You can flip through quickly and easily to find the garden problem that's bothering you, and its solution. The research is thorough, and the consultants list is first class. There are a generous appendices that guide the reader to plants that are disease resistant and away from plants that are susceptible to specific problems.
This is a valuable book that should be on every gardener's bookshelf.
If you are a gardener, or an insectophobiac, get this book!.......2001-04-17
Ortho kills bugs, pests and diseases. This book is indispensable for any serious or semi-serious gardener. Where there is growth there will be "anti-growth" force. The wilted vine, the brown grass, yellow spots on leaves, discolored needles, clusters of pink soft-bodied insects and, yes, garden fans, gray grubs with brown heads are all part of the "anti-growth" force.
This problem solving book has excellent color photos illustrating every problem you could possibly encounter. The layout below the photo is simple, yet very effective: Problem, Analysis, Solution. No book in my gardening library is used more.
"The Ortho Home Gardener's Problem Solver" even has a section for household pests (sorry, no section for your neighbor's barking dog). If it has a downside, it is that it is published by a chemical company which means that there are NO organic solutions. By-in-large Ortho's motto is "if it is alive, we can kill it chemically." This is the definitive reference tool for the home gardener. Highly recommended.
