A Colour Atlas of Cucurbit Diseases

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

D. Blancard and H. Lecoq are the authors of A Colour Atlas of Cucurbit Diseases: Observation, Identification and Control, published by Wiley.
