Abstract
THIS volume represents an attempt on the part of expert plant pathologists to put before the farming community, in simple, non-technical language, an outline of our present knowledge with regard to insect and fungus pests of farm crops. It is recognised that no clear-cut rules can be given for dealing with each pest, as methods of treatment must inevitably vary with the local conditions associated with individual attacks. The aim is, therefore, to put forward the main principles of control in the hope that agriculturists of all types may be encouraged to attempt to apply them, and, by working in a spirit of co-operation, aid in the application of scientific principles to commercial conditions.
