Synopsis

This book gathers papers discussing deciduous fruit pests and ways to combat them. Published in 1911 as part of various bulletins in the US Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Entomology, it opens with a discussion of the grape leafhopper, a previously little-known pest that had recently become a serious problem in New York vineyards. The author includes his own research on the insect's life cycle and vulnerabilities, which formed the basis of effective control methods. He also shares his findings on the codling moth's life cycle in California, noting differences from the eastern populations. He observes longer durations for each stage of the insect's development, emphasizing the need for region-specific pest management strategies. Concluding the book is an exploration of the California Peach Borer, detailing its life history and habits. This early study provides valuable insights into the management of deciduous fruit pests, demonstrating the importance of understanding insect biology for effective control.
