Field Guide to Forest Insects and Diseases of the Prairie Provinces, Second Edition
Canadian Forest Service
The most common and important insects, diseases, and other damaging
agents of forest trees in the Canadian prairie provinces are described
in terms of their symptoms and signs, distribution, hosts, disease
(life) cycle, and damage. These are illustrated with colour photographs
for easy identification. The book is divided into three major
colour-coded sections: one for insects and diseases of conifers, one
for insects and diseases of hardwoods, and one for other damaging
agents. A host index listing pest species and disorders by host species
and part of host affected, a glossary of technical terms, a general
reference section, and a general index listing common and scientific
names of hosts and pests as well as other damaging agents are also
included.
