Plant Protection from Pests. What, When, and How Much

This book presents a comprehensive, systematic approach to protecting plants from pests. It discusses not only methods for eliminating suddenly emerging pests but also a unified set of measures that can prevent or halt their annual invasion. Such an approach will save effort, time, and money, and most importantly, will preserve your health.

The first part of the book helps to navigate the sea of chemical, biogenic, and biological products available to consumers. You will be able to choose the most necessary, safest protective means and understand the specifics of their application to avoid harming yourself, pollinating insects, and plants. The second part is dedicated to specific pests. Relying on the knowledge of their life cycle, the author explains how, when, and how many times to treat your garden, vegetable garden, greenhouse, and even houseplants. Timely treatment can eliminate several types of harmful insects at once, while treatment at the wrong time will not save you from them but will cause damage to the harvest and harm to health. Alternative methods of protection are also considered: often, it is possible to strengthen plants so that they can resist pests themselves.

The author of the book is Alexander Valeryevich Petrov, a candidate of agricultural sciences, an agronomist with more than 25 years of experience. The book is written in simple language. It will be useful to a wide range of readers: from owners of small plots and amateur gardeners to professionals.
