The books in the following series each have sections on:
1. Gathering the facts.
2. Diagnosis from visible symptoms.
3. Confirming the diagnosis – trial treatment of a portion
of crop, plant tissue analysis, and soil and water
analysis.
4. Correcting the problem.
5. Following up, has the crop responded to treatment?
