Synopsis

Practical early 20th‑century findings on protecting deciduous fruit crops from insects .

This compilation draws on seven papers to show how scientists tackled common pests and reduced damage to grapes, pears, peaches, and plums.

The book presents a clear view of how researchers studied life histories, spraying schedules, and preventive treatments. It highlights field trials, regional differences, and the practical results that helped growers protect crops in challenging seasons.

• Spraying experiments against major vineyard pests, including the grape leafhopper and rose-chafer.
• Life histories and control methods for the codling moth in pears and related crops.
• The California peach borer: its distribution, habits, and management options.
• Observations on the peach and plum slug, peach bud mite, and grape scale, with notes on prevention and remedies.

Ideal for readers of historical agricultural entomology and orchard science seeking practical context and methods from an era of early integrated pest management.
