Avocado Guide from Down Under
The 2nd edition of the Avocado Problem Solver Field Guide is OUT NOW! It contains 14 new disorders (including six spotted mite, panicle dieback and tree lodging), it updates and expands the information provided in the original edition, includes three new beneficial insects and three new exotic pests, and includes 70 additional photographs as well as replacing many of the original ones. It is 30 pages longer than the 1st edition.
The new edition illustrates, describes, and provides management advice for 114 different pests, diseases, and other disorders of avocado in Australia, many of which are common to avocado industries in other countries. The first part of the book is expressly designed to help the user quickly identify the problem, this is achieved using 520 colour photographs which are arranged in order of plant part and grouped logically according to symptom. The caption of each photograph refers the reader to a page in the second part of the book which provides information covering the cause, general comments, description, prevention, and management of the problem.
All the pests are not found in California - yet- nor are all the diseases, but this is a beautifully illustrated and documented guide that can help CA avocado growers.
