This manual is organized into seven main sections. The first chapter is on fruit growth and development.

Introductions to each chapter explain where and when major pests occur and general monitoring guidelines. Each chapter has detailed descriptions and photographs of individual pests, the damage they cause, and specific guidelines for enhancing natural control factors, designing a monitoring program, and using control actions effectively.
