Synopsis

Explore the history and methods of protecting fruit from pests.

This 1915 agricultural bulletin surveys common orchard insects and the early use of insecticides, with a detailed look at the grape-berry moth and related problems.

The book compiles life-history data, seasonal habits, and practical control ideas gleaned from field trials. It includes reports on experiments with poison sprays, leaf-roller control, and early Bordeaux mixtures, all aimed at improving fruit quality and yields during the early 20th century.

  • Life history and habits of the grape-berry moth and other pests
  • Remedial measures and spray experiments from vineyards
  • Yield comparisons and economic implications of pest control
  • Illustrations and tables detailing development stages and control outcomes

Ideal for readers of historical agricultural methods, pest management history, and fruit-production research.
