The Insect and Other Allied Pests: Of Orchard, Bush and Hothouse Fruits and Their Prevention and Treatment (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Insect and Other Allied Pests: Of Orchard, Bush and Hothouse Fruits and Their Prevention and Treatment
Since Miss Ormerod wrote her valuable little handbook on Orchard and Bush Fruit Insects' in 1898, fruit-growing in this country has much increased and with it our knowledge concerning its enemies. Then and previous to it we had to rely mainly for information about insect pest treatment from our Colonial kinsmen and the Americans.
With the development of rational fruit-growing and its general stimulation has grown up from the times of Curtis and Westwood a desire to know more and more of the pests which harass the grower.
The life-history of an insect, mite or worm seems a trivial matter, but it takes much labour to unravel. Yet it is upon the knowledge of such matters that we must rely if we wish to fight this wonderful Nature which seems to us to do such incalculable mischief. The complete understanding of the vagaries of this or that insect pest may expose some vulnerable point where we can attack it with some possible hope of success.
