Book Description

Sep 15 2003 Comstock Book
This comprehensive handbook, acclaimed when it was first published in 1976 as "one of the most useful reference manuals on diagnostic entomology yet produced," has now been completely revised and expanded to reflect recent advances in technology and the wealth of new information affecting the "Green Industry."

Augmented by 241 full-color plates, it gives the essential facts about more than 900 species of insects, mites, and other animals that injure woody ornamental plants in the United States and Canada, and provides means of quick visual identification of both the pests and the damage they cause.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth it! Aug 13 2002
Format:Hardcover
This book is on my "short list" of essential references. Species are covered in clear, concise descriptions. This well organized volume makes hunting for similar species as easy as turning a page. The photos? I can't say enough about the clear, photos that make insect identification a good deal easier!

While an excellent book for the landscape professional, scientist, or advanced gardener, beginners might be a bit overwhelmed by the technical language and scientific names.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a much needed and fabulous manual. Jun 17 1998
Format:Hardcover
When trying to identify a particular problem with growing trees or shrubs knowing what kinds of insects are possible culprits is a major step. This book gives us, in color photos and descriptions, most of the common larvae that can be found feeding on the particular plants. Even Entomology texts often refuse to deal with larvae of insects, keeping only the adults in the keys and descriptions (even though the adults are often not pests!). This guide will be a welcome addition to any plant clinic, grower, or Entomology professor or student's bookshelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars Insects that feed on trees and shrubs July 9 2009
By Juniper - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I agree that this book has great descriptions with photo's of insects and how the leaves or branches will look when infested even over a period of time. However, that is it. You must go to find your resolution somewhere else. It does not give any direction of how to treat any of these problems safe for the tree or shrubs. A very good reference book to find your point of departure.
