Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "The Coconut Moth in Fiji: A History of Its Control by Means of Parasites" is a comprehensive scientific study detailing one of the most significant early triumphs in the field of biological pest control. Co-authored by J.D. Tothill, T.H.C. Taylor, and R.W. Paine, this work provides an exhaustive account of the efforts to mitigate the devastating impact of the coconut moth (Levuana iridescens) on the vital coconut industry of Fiji. The book meticulously chronicles the ecological challenges faced by the region and the rigorous scientific process involved in identifying and introducing natural parasitic enemies to manage the moth population.This volume serves as a landmark document in entomology and agricultural science, offering detailed observations on the life cycles of both the pest and its controllers.
