Overview

With globalised trade and climate change, new pests and diseases are reaching our gardens, and protecting a vegetable plot is becoming harder. “Panique au potager” provides concrete, reliable and directly applicable answers to the main problems encountered on 45 vegetables, soft fruits and aromatic plants.
