Item description from seller

The use of pesticides today is a widespread concern - we worry about pesticide residues on our food, exposure in the workplace, and the risks to those in the agricultural industry.

This volume includes: landscape designs that prevent pests; planting, irrigating, and other plant care activities that prevent potential problems; resistant varieties; biological controls (use of parasites, predators or pathogens); less-toxic pesticides such as soaps, oils and microbials; mulches and other physical and mechanical controls; and references, suppliers list and glossary. …
