PUNGENT PEPPER PUBLICATION PLEASES
If there is anything about Capsicum spp. (peppers) that isn't discussed in
NORTHEAST PEPPER INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM) MANUAL,
it's probably not worth noting. The 145-page, 2001 work warms up with
discussions of nomenclature, descriptions, and even pungency ratings, all
accompanied by lush, full-color photos (there are over 200). Then come the
meaty chapters ranging from general IPM strategies to highly specific
sections on insects, weeds, diseases, with a nod toward vertebrate pests,
all couched in a rational pest management approach. A separate "Pesticide
Supplement" presents ratings and product information. Editors T.J. Boucher
and R.A. Ashley masterminded the contributions of more than a dozen
specialists to produce a highly informative and graphically pleasing, photo
laden, softbound resource that uses visuals and text to full advantage.
