The two tables on the left are summaries of the previous sections where a description of various pests and remedies were given. Link-back is available on all of them.

The tables work both ways - either 'pest and its remedy' or 'remedy for a given pest'.

Example: say the pests were mealy bugs. The appropriate remedies are No 5 which is Cryptolaemus spp Ladybirds, or No 10 which is the Leptomastix dactylopii wasp.

NOTE: As with most of the methods suggested - ALWAYS read the supplier/manufacturer's instruction carefully.
