McPartland (U. of Vermont) and two members of the Amsterdam-based International Hemp Association review research published over the past half century, the earlier works much outdated, and the later scattered in the semi-clandestine grey literature of illicit growers. They begin with the prerequisite information about crop biology relating to principles of plant protection, requirements for growth, and taxonomy and ecology. Then they look at such diseases and pests as insects and mites, fungal diseases, abiotic diseases, and post-harvest problem. Finally they survey cultural and mechanical, biological, and biorational chemical control approaches. They include 86 color plates as well as many black-and-white illustrations
