Description
Controlling Crop Pests and Diseases covers pest and disease damage, causative agents, and methods of combatting them. As well as manual and cultural techniques, it describes the knapsack sprayer and its maintenance, showing that expensive chemicals are not necessary - the secrets of cheaply-available or improvised ingredients are revealed. The book also covers protection against larger animals and wind, using hedges and ditches. The examples are illustrated stories presented as strip cartoons for extension staff or teachers to show and hand out to farmers and students. Those who already use storytelling and drama in their work will know their value in extension; others for whom this method is new will find it fresh, stimulating and productive.
