The Illustrated Cranberry Production Booklet is an attempt to assist cranberry growers, crop consultants and other related workers in identifying insect pests and diseases and the types of damage they cause, and make them aware of their life cycles during the growing season. The extensive addition of photos of various stages of crop growth, insect pests and disease symptoms make it a comprehensive hands-on manual. The contents are intended to provide a better understanding for the common person in their management of insect pest control. This work is solely presented to uplift cranberry growers, and the agriculture industry in particular, and help to develop and promote better crop growing and management practices for healthy and promising crop yields to boost the growers' economic standards.
Dr. Jasbir S Mann, Ph.D., P. Ag. is an internationally trained entomologist/taxonomist, and a crop and integrated pest management (IPM) consultant with more than four decades working on agricultural crops, forest trees, fruit orchids and garden insect pests in India, Scotland, and Australia. He has worked on most BC-grown berries and vegetables in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley districts, and Vancouver Island of British Columbia, Canada, since 1998. As a crop consultant and owner of D M Crop Consulting & Diagnostics Ltd for 14 years, he handled and successfully accomplished various research projects on the insect pests in cranberry, blueberry, raspberry, and strawberry crops. He provided IPM services to BC raspberry growers for 6 years under the co-op funded assisted program, and trained graduate students majoring in plant protection. He has been a safety co-ordinator with FARSHA (now AGSAFE) for 9 years and provided safety training for agricultural equipment, forklift, tractor, bobcat, ladder and WHMIS training to BC farmworkers, berry, and mushroom growers. Also, he served as Pesticide Licensing Training Facilitator to educate farmworkers and greenhouse growers for Pesticide Applicator Licensing certification with his multi-language proficiency skills. His extensive research expertise of beetles and leafhoppers, and academic knowhow, bear testimony to his 67 peer-reviewed research articles naming 217 new species of leafhoppers from Australia and 48 from India, and invited chapters published in the UK, Spain, Germany, India, USA, and Australia. Already he has published, in 2019, a similar book on blueberries available on Amazon. Dr. Mann has put in his best efforts to share his cranberry insect pests, diseases, and crop knowledge experience with cranberry growers through this illustrated work with timely crop management practices in easily understandable descriptions.
