| Vegetable Crop Health: Helping Nature Control Diseases and Pests Organically by Brian Caldwell | ||
| Skilled farmers will appreciate this balanced, thorough presentation on creating a low-pest growing situation. Vegetable Crop Health includes farmer-friendly chapters on organic pest management with heavy emphasis on proven no-spray cultural techniques that reduce pest numbers and damage. The book includes a full chapter on farm design and crop rotation toward this end. It gives a crop-by-crop discussion of specific pest management practices, including spray-based "rescue" treatments.
The manual unlocks secrets of host plant resistance, soil health, trap cropping, cover crops, field layout, row covers and manipulating the overall farm environment. Brian Caldwell has been a commercial organic vegetable grower for over 20 years, a Cornell Cooperative Extension Educator, and is now Farm Education Coordinator for NOFA-NY. | ||
