OverviewThe main aim of this beautifully illustrated book is to enable the reader to diagnose quickly parasitic and non-parasitic conditions in cucurbits and to give valuable information on the methods of treatment to combat them. Organised for maximum ease of use, the book incorporates two sections. The first is a diagnostic tool devised to help the user observe and identify the diseases. The second part deals with control. As well as immediate measures, recommendations are included to prevent the disease recurring in the next crop.
