Plant Pest Handbook. A guide to insects, diseases, and other disorders affecting
plants. On-line and updated version of the Plant Pest
Handbook. The Station published its first report on effective and
practical means of controlling plant diseases in 1889. In the many decades that
followed, Station scientists published hundreds of scientific reports on the
biology and ecology and on the chemical, natural, and integrated pest management
(IPM) of diseases, insects, mites, and nematodes of Connecticut crops and
plants. This great wealth of information was initially summarized in the
Station’s first Plant Pest Handbook published in two volumes in 1933 and 1934.
The Plant Pest Handbook was last published in 1956.
