Synopsis

Practical guidance on farm pests and their prevention for 1897 and beyond.

This report gathers observations of injurious insects and common farm pests, with tested methods of prevention and remedy. It combines field notes, expert insights, and practical experiments to help growers protect crops and manage infested wood, fruit, and storage crops.

In this volume, you’ll find:

• A clear survey of widespread pests, from caterpillars and beetles to mites and moths, with notes on how weather and seasons affect outbreaks.
• Details on new or notable threats, such as diamond-back moths, shot-borer beetles, and the spread of the Black Currant Mmite, plus guidance on monitoring early signs.
• Practical treatment ideas and experimental approaches, including chemical and cultural methods tested on currants and other crops.
• Context on related concerns, like the impact of pests on stored grain and orchard fruit, and the broader role of birds in farm losses.

What you’ll experience/learn:

• How to identify key pests and their life cycles as described in the year’s observations.
• Step-by-step prevention and remedy strategies tested in field trials.
• Ways to interpret pest activity in relation to weather, crops, and planting patterns.
• Historical methods and cautions that shaped late 19th‑century pest management.

Ideal for readers of agricultural reference works, orchardists, crop farmers, and growers seeking practical, historically grounded pest control guidance.
