This edition summarizes early 20th‑century research into pests like the codling moth and the cigar case-bearer, and surveys spraying strategies, insecticides, and related control measures. It presents observations, generations, and seasonal patterns, along with practical guidance for growers.
- Comprehensive life-history studies of major fruit pests.
- Evaluation of spraying schedules and the one-spray method in control efforts.
- Tests of sprays against scale insects and other orchard pests.
- Practical notes on data, methods, and field outcomes for real-world use.
Ideal for readers of agricultural science, pest management, or orchard care who want a historical reference to early insect control research and its practical applications. This edition is best suited for those seeking concrete methods and results from classic entomology work.
