To anyone who is concerned about the environment, it is obvious that all is not well with modern crop husbandry. Pests and diseases are destroying about one fifth of all crop produ ction, despite the use of crop protection chemicals which in some cases has increased nearly tenfold since World War II. This book uses plain English to clearly explain the science and techniques used to breed crops for pest and disease resistance.
