Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of Observations of Injurious Insects and Common Farm Pests, During the Year 1892: With Methods of Prevention and Remedy
Tee year 1892 was remarkable for most of the insect infesta tions commonly injurious to field crops and fruit, being present to such an extent as to cause enquiry as to their nature and methods of prevention, but, for the most part, as not affecting large districts to a serious extent.
Amongst such crop attacks as were more especially prevalent and injurious, were those of the leaf-eating Pea Weevils, of which the detailed reports Show amount Of damage up to the sweeping Off Of successive sowings and, over areas of various extent, up to serious mischief over a district of 1000 acres. The caterpillars Of the very common silver-y Moth caused unusual damage in various places to Clover; and the Hop Strig Maggot was again mischievous. Mangold crops in many places had (as has been repeatedly the case of late years) again to bear the brunt of sharp attack Of Leaf Maggot. Corn Aphis (so far as information sent in showed) was the most injurious corn insect attack Of the season. Diamond-back Moth presence was widely noticed, and in some localities (perhaps most of all on the north easterly parts of Norfolk, and near St. Andrew's, in Scotland) as being observable in great numbers but compared to the outbreak Of 1891 little caterpillar attack followed, so that serious damage only occurred locally, not as a widespread scourge. Various kinds of root attacks to Turnips and Cabbage (duly entered on) also caused trouble.
