Synopsis

Deciduous Fruit Insects and Insecticides is a government bureau bulletin that compiles eight papers on pests and control methods for deciduous fruits.

It covers life histories, damage, and practical remedies used in orchards, with detailed experiments and field results.

This edition summarizes early 20th‑century research into pests like the codling moth and the cigar case-bearer, and surveys spraying strategies, insecticides, and related control measures. It presents observations, generations, and seasonal patterns, along with practical guidance for growers.
  • Comprehensive life-history studies of major fruit pests.
  • Evaluation of spraying schedules and the one-spray method in control efforts.
  • Tests of sprays against scale insects and other orchard pests.
  • Practical notes on data, methods, and field outcomes for real-world use.
Ideal for readers of agricultural science, pest management, or orchard care who want a historical reference to early insect control research and its practical applications. This edition is best suited for those seeking concrete methods and results from classic entomology work.
