Vegetable Pest ID Garden/Small Farm Cards

The Vegetable Pest ID Garden/Small Farm Cards are a durable, easy-to-use resource for quickly identifying pests, diseases, and beneficial species in vegetable gardens and small farms. Designed for gardeners, educators, and small-scale growers, these laminated cards help you make informed, sustainable plant care decisions in the field or garden without having to rely on bulky reference books.

This publication was developed to help you identify and manage pests of vegetables grown in backyards; community or school gardens; and small, diversified farms in urban or rural areas. Each card features clear, full-color photographs and concise descriptions, making pest recognition fast and reliable. A dedicated chapter covers beneficial predators and parasites to encourage natural pest control, while the practical “What to Do” sections provide Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies that protect soil health and reduce chemical use.

Compact and spiral bound, the set slips easily into a pocket or tool bag for use during routine garden walks or farm inspections. Built for repeated outdoor use, it’s a practical companion for any grower committed to healthy plants, thriving ecosystems, and sustainable harvests.
