Report of Observations of Injurious Insects and Common Farm Pests, During the Year 1897: With Methods of Prevention and Remedy; Twenty-First Report (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Eleanor A.Ormerod's 21st Annual Report on Injurious Insects is dedicated to outlining a set of valuable observations and remedies for common crop pests plaguing farmers toward the end of the Victorian Era. Gleaned from the author's extensive correspondence with fellow entomologists and farmers across the country, the book classifies dozens of crop-eating pests, but makes particular note of several threatening species, such as the newly identified Shot-borer Beetle and the destructive Diamond-back Moth. Using meticulous and extensive field research, Ormerod traces the development and spread of various blights, maggots, and weevils, shares suggestions for their control and prevention, and speculates on the threat they pose to crop yields. The author also provides a survey of the state of agricultural entomology in Britain, noting the influence of both domestic and imported infestations on British agriculture.
