Vegetable Insect Management ORDER YOURS TODAY VIM cover and cd

Welcome, Entomologists!

Vegetable Insect Management (book and CD-ROM package) is designed to be a comprehensive source for practical, up-to-date information on managing insect pests of vegetables. It is edited by Rick Foster, professor of entomologist at Purdue University, and Brian Flood, an entomologist at Del Monte Foods, and written by more than 30 leading experts in the field of vegetable insect management nationwide.

This user-friendly guide is organized by crop, from asparagus and beans, to sweet corn and squash. Vegetable Insect Management integrates pictorial and textual aids for identifying insect life stages with clear discussions of how best to control them — and when control is warranted. There are also plenty of charts, tables, and graphs to offer quick reference, as do the highlighted “key points” and “rules of thumb.” Be sure to click on the excerpts from the Table Of Contents listed to the right.
