simple guide to plant disease
My daughter (7 but very bright) is doing a project on plants.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a guide to plant disease and insect infestation that is written for an ordinary person? eg, The leaves go yellow and wilt, this is a virus. Dig up the plant and feed the others. (or a slightly higher level) Thank you big time. Serenity |

Serenity mmmmmmmm-complicated subject for a 7 year old :~) Yellow wilted leaves, might be a virus, or overwatering, or underwatering............. However these might be useful: http://www.gardenlinks.ndo.co.uk/childrens.htm http://www.gardeningdata.co.uk/children_gardening.htm Jenny |

Dig up the plant and feed the others. (or a slightly higher level) Thank you big time. Serenity I'd suggest 'The Pocket Garden Troubles Expert' by Dr. D. G. Hessayon. All the books in the range are good, but this one is what you need for your specific requirements. It'll tell you in simple terms how to tell one disease/pest/deficiency/etc. from another and how to treat it. All the books are well and very simply written. Used by amateurs and professionals alike, though some might not like to admit it. Dave. |
