Earlier this year, Cloyd released his latest book, Greenhouse Pest Management, which takes a comprehensive look at how growers can manage greenhouse arthropod pests.
In the book, Cloyd provides essential information on the major greenhouse pests, describing their biology and life cycles. He also provides information on different strategies for managing greenhouse pests, such as cultural, physical and biological control as well as the use of pesticides, and describes how cultural practices and sanitation affect pest populations.
The book also contains photos to help growers identify what types of pests they are dealing with as well as what kind of damage the insects can do to greenhouse crops.
The book is currently available on Amazon.com. Click here to purchase or learn more about Greenhouse Pest Management.
