Publisher's Synopsis
This work gives concise information on the major insects, pests and fungal diseases of sports turf and amenity grassland which occur in western Europe. For each pest and disease, a full description of characteristic symptoms, environmental conditions which favour attack and recommendations for integrated disease management are given. Whilst the booklet is written primarily for turf managers, it may also be of interest to advisory and research and development plant pathologists, and technical research and sales staff within the agrochemical industry. A set of 12 colour transparencies of the major turfgrass diseases which provide a visual teaching aid to complement the book is also available from the Sports Turf Research Institute, price #24.00 (+50p postage and packing within the UK).
