Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the many facets of the white pine weevil, a destructive pest that has plagued white pine plantations and natural seedings in the Northeastern United States for two centuries. Despite its continuing presence, the weevil seldom kills the trees it infests, but rather deforms them, rendering them unsuitable for use as timber and significantly hindering their growth. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the insect's biology, detailing its life cycle, preferred hosts, and the various methods it employs to damage and kill its targets. Moreover, the book explores the broader historical and ecological context in which the weevil operates, examining its impact on white pine ecosystems and the measures employed to control its spread. By delving deeply into the nature of this pervasive pest, this book offers valuable insights into its behavior and the strategies employed to mitigate its harmful effects, making it an essential resource for foresters, landowners, and anyone interested in the preservation of white pine forests.
