Synopsis
This book presents a detailed history of the use of nicotine and tobacco as insecticides, from its discovery in the 17th century, up until the present day. It documents the widespread use of nicotine for pest control from the 1870s and provides a valuable insight into this practice at a time of heightened concern about the indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides and a desire to adopt more environmentally friendly methods. Many of the methods and preparations suggested in this book are no longer used, having been superseded by more modern pest control techniques, but this history is still of great value to entomologists, horticulturists, and anyone interested in the development of pest control and pesticide use.
