Synopsis

A detailed annual snapshot of crop pests and weather effects from the late 1870s.

The book compiles observations by researchers and contributors on how weather, seasons, and crops interact with a wide range of injurious insects. It covers geographic notes, specific pests, and practical remarks on monitoring and managing them, framed as a practical, year‑to‑year record from many regions.

  • Learn how long winters and rainfall patterns shaped insect presence and crop impact in various locales.
  • See examples of pests such as the Turnip Sawfly, Cabbage Weevil, Wheat Midge, Gooseberry Sawfly, and the Apple Weevil, with notes on damage and timing.
  • Discover the kinds of remedies and monitoring advice used or suggested by observers of the era.
  • Understand how observers documented first appearances, peak numbers, and disappearance to build a running record for future seasons.
Ideal for readers of historical agricultural and horticultural records, foresters, and garden historians seeking a window into late‑19th‑century pest observation.
