Anthony Biddle is among the most respected scientists in the pea
and bean industry worldwide. Nigel Cattlin has an international
reputation for agricultural and horticultural photography of the
highest order. They have created between them a concise and practical
guide to the protection of pea and bean crops, with descriptions
of symptoms linked throughout to photographs and to notes on prevention
and control.
Intensive production of peas and beans can often result in the increased
incidence of pests and diseases, putting crops at risk from yield
loss or reduction in quality. The book deals systematically with
pests, and with the fungal, bacterial and viral diseases affecting
peas and beans from seedling to produce. It assists the reader in
the early and rapid recognition of problems and provides guidance
in dealing with them.
Pests, Diseases and Disorders of Peas and Beans is of value as a
field guide for growers, advisers and extension workers, and as
a lasting reference for researchers.
