Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of the San Josà Scale, an invasive pest, and its spread throughout the United States. It examines how the scale first appeared in the late 19th century, its devastating impact on fruit trees, and the development of control methods. Over time, the scale became a serious problem in nurseries throughout the country, leading to the establishment of state nursery inspection systems and legislation to prevent the accidental spread of the pest. The book meticulously details the scale's biology and life cycle, from its appearance and feeding habits to its means of dispersal and proliferation. The author provides insights into the various approaches to controlling the pest, including the use of natural predators and chemical treatments. The book also explores the different types of plants that are susceptible to infestation, and discusses the potential economic consequences of an infestation on fruit production and agriculture. This well-rounded and informative book offers a comprehensive examination of the San Josà Scale, its history, its impact, and the methods used to combat it, making it an invaluable resource for farmers, entomologists, and anyone interested in the fascinating world of plant pests and pest control. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
