Synopsis
This book documents 19th and early 20th-century entomological research on insect pests that often rendered grain and fodder crops unmarketable in Canada. These pests included beetles, maggots, and plant lice that attacked crops at every stage of growth, from seed to harvest. The author, a Canadian entomologist and botanist, details the life cycles of each pest, the damage they caused to crops, and innovative treatments and remedies discovered by the author and other scientists of the time. Developed through experimentation at the Dominion Experimental Farms and other provincial institutions, these treatments were notably effective and inexpensive. This book is an invaluable historical record of the state of early pest control, offering useful information for farmers, gardeners, and entomologists alike.
