Handbook of Plant Diseases – Volume Four: Animal Pests of Crop Plants (Part One) by H. Blunck is a scientific manual focusing on the major animal pests that cause damage to agricultural crops. The book systematically describes the biology, life cycles, and symptoms of damage caused by various groups of harmful animals—including insects, mites, nematodes, and other invertebrates—found in arable farming, horticulture, and fruit cultivation. Blunck discusses both the morphological characteristics required for identification and the ecological conditions that influence pest development. In addition, he addresses methods of prevention and control, emphasizing integrated and biological approaches alongside chemical measures. The work is considered a foundational reference in agricultural entomology and provides a thorough basis for understanding and managing pests in crop protection.
