Abstract
THE increasing attention that is being given to the growing of sugar beet in Great Britain renders it advisable that growers should be forewarned as to the nature of the insect and fungus pests which are liable to attack the crop, and which might cause serious epidemics. With this object in view a translation has been made of Dr. Otto Appel's book, in which about a score of the worst pests are simply and shortly described, with hints as to prevention and cure. The letterpress is accompanied by excellent coloured illustrations (by A. Dressel), which convey a very clear idea of the morphological phenomena associated with each pest and which should render the task of identification less difficult to the grower.
