"En mycket bra och lättanvänd handbok för alla trädgårdsintresserade"
BTJ, Mikaela Karlsson
Problem med skadedjur i trädgården? I Skydda din trädgård delar Maj-Lis Pettersson, Sveriges främsta expert på växtskydd och välkänd från TV4:s Nyhetsmorgon, med sig av sin omfattande kunskap.
Denna inbundna och rikt illustrerade handbok är fylld med fakta, råd och tydliga bilder som hjälper dig att känna igen och bekämpa de vanligaste skadegörarna – från larver, sniglar och bladlöss till kvalster och insekter. Här finns tips för trädgårdens alla delar: bär och frukt, buskar, blommor, köksväxter och träd som lönn, ek, lind, ask, hägg och många fler.
Boken visar hur du kan arbeta både direkt – genom att gillra fällor, plocka bort skadade växtdelar eller använda biologisk bekämpning – och förebyggande, genom rätt plantering och skötsel. Tack vare de detaljerade närbilderna lär du dig snabbt identifiera varje skadedjur.
Skydda din trädgård angriper problemen från två håll: dels utifrån växten, dels från själva skadegöraren. Detta är en reviderad och utökad utgåva med nya avsnitt, bland annat om björnbär och vinväxter.
Maj-Lis Pettersson är hortonom och tidigare statskonsulent vid SLU i Uppsala. Hon har varit en uppskattad expert i Odla med P1 och är en av Sveriges mest erfarna trädgårdsexperter.
"De rekommenderade åtgärderna är relevanta och bygger på manuell och biologisk bekämpning, fysiska barriärer, fällor och tips på motståndskraftiga sorter... Det är enkelt att navigera i boken. Bilderna är tydliga och pedagogiska"

Biological pest control provides a natural, safe and sustainable way to control insect pests. Increasingly recognized by professional and hobby growers alike, it’s fast becoming the best solution for insect pest control in the garden. A Gardener’s Guide to Biological Pest Control applies the latest practices from professional horticulture and botanical gardens to all garden settings, including greenhouses, vegetable plots, lawns and borders. It guides the gardener from the very start of the process, outlining the conditions required for successful application and which natural enemies to use against which insect pest, to how to ensure successful, sustainable pest control in the long term. Quote from Robert Brett - Curator, RHS Garden Hyde Hall: "Having worked in glasshouses and public gardens for over thirty years, I have witnessed first-hand the vital importance that natural predators (biological control) have to play in helping combat the problems we continually face with plant health. There is no one more equipped and knowledgeable to help illustrate and guide us in the use of natural predators in the garden than Julian Ives."

Visste du om att om du planterar vitlök bland rosorna så bidrar den skarpa doften till att hålla bladlössen på avstånd? Eller att igelkottar älskar att äta sniglar? Såna här smarta tips på hur du kan skydda din trädgård för objudna gäster är just vad boken 50 sätt att överlista en snigel och andra trädgårdsmarodörer ger tips om.
Här får du miljövänliga och skonsamma lösningar på vanliga skadedjursproblem. Boken tar upp 50 vanliga problem. Tanken är att genom att lära känna din fiende kan du utnyttja dess svagheter och på så sätt skydda din trädgård. Enkla beskrivningarna och tydliga illustrationer visar hur man ska gå tillväga.
Det handlar bland annat om hur man håller getingar borta, skyddar de nyplanterade träden från att bli uppätna av rådjur och harar och hur man kan lura morotsflugan! Räddningen till allt detta finns i denna bok. Kontentan är: Lär känna din fiende och utnyttja dess svagheter, på så vis kan du skydda din trädgård.
Boken är uppdelad i fem kapitel utifrån olika kännetecken för skadegörarna: gnagare, luftburna, större inkräktare, sniglar samt småkryp. Boken är rikt illustrerad och ger inspirerande tips på växtsorter som objudna gäster inte rår på.
50 sätt att överlista en snigel och andra trädgårdsmarodörer är producerad i samarbete med Royal Horticultural Society. SIMON AKEROYD har arbetat som trädgårdsföreståndare och författat drygt 20 trädgårdsböcker. HÅKAN ELMQVIST, som översatt, är en av Sveriges främsta experter på insekter.

A historical investigation into the mysterious bug that wiped out the vineyards of France and Europe in the 1860s – and how one young botanist eventually ‘saved wine for the world’.In the early 1860s, vines in the lower Rhône valley, and then around Bordeaux, inexplicably began to wither and die. Panic seized France, and Jules-Émile Planchon, a botanist from Montpellier, was sent to investigate. Magnifying glass in hand, he discovered the roots of a dying vine covered in microscopic yellow insects. The tiny aphid would be named Phylloxera vastatrix – 'the dry leaf devastator'. Where it had come from was utterly mysterious, but it advanced with the speed of an invading army. As the noblest vineyards of France came under biological siege, the world's greatest wine industry tottered on the brink of ruin. The grand owners fought the aphid with expensive insecticide, while peasant vignerons simply abandoned their ruined plots in despair. Within a few years the plague had spread across Europe, from Portugal to the Crimea.Planchon, aided by the American entomologist Charles Riley, discovered that the parasite had accidentally been imported from America. He believed that only the introduction of American vines, which appeared to have developed a resistance to the aphid, could save France's vineyards. His opponents maintained that this would merely assist the spread of the disease. Meanwhile, encouraged by the French government's offer of a prize of 300,000 gold francs for a remedy, increasingly bizarre suggestions flooded in, and many wine-growing regions came close to revolution as whole local economies were obliterated. Eventually Planchon and his supporters won the day, and phylloxera-resistant American vines were grafted onto European root-stock. Despite some setbacks – the first fruits of transplanted American vines were universally pronounced undrinkable – by 1914 all vines cultivated in France were hybrid Americans.Phylloxera is an entertaining, revealing and frequently astonishing account of one of the earliest and most successful applications of science to an ecological disaster.

Plant Disease covers all aspects of diseases of plants growing in the wild or likely to be encountered on cultivated plants in farm, forest and garden. This edition is exclusive to newnaturalists.comThis book covers all aspects of diseases of plants growing in the wild or likely to be encountered on cultivated plants in farm, forest and garden.Between 1845 and 1851 one and a half million Irish men, women and children died in misery from starvation and disease; the result of potato blight, a fungal disease that destroyed their potato crops. A million more people, driven to despair by the succession of appalling harvests, emigrated, mostly to America. So it was that a plant disease changed the course of history, its economic effects causing not only social but also major political upheaval.Many plant diseases have had surprisingly far reaching social and economic effects, so the study of these diseases is of great interest and importance to scientists, horticulturists, agriculturalists and foresters. In Plant Disease: A Natural History, Ingram and Robertson draw on personal observations in the field and laboratory to discuss all types of diseases caused by fungi, from rots and mildews to rusts, smuts and tumours. The symptoms encountered in the wild are described, together with their causes. A final chapter discusses the diseases caused by viruses, bacteria and flowering plants.
