Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the Scapteriscus didactylus Latr. mole cricket that inhabits the island of Puerto Rico, and which has a destructive impact on crops grown there. The author describes the species and its life history, including its feeding habits and the damage it causes to various crops, noting that it is considered one of the most significant insect pests the Puerto Rican agricultural industry faces and is estimated to cause millions of dollars in losses annually. The book reviews a number of remedies and preventive measures that can be used to combat this pest, including both physical methods and chemical deterrents. The author finds that clean cultivation, barriers, and trap lights are effective deterrents but concludes that the use of arsenic or Paris green sprinkled on chopped grass bait is the most effective method for eliminating the pest, although it comes with some difficulty. The author suggests that the widespread use and adoption of these remedies could bring the pest under control and reduce the financial burden it places on the region's farmers.
