Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the observations, experiments, and insights from a year-long study (1880) into the causes and possible remedies for crop damage caused by insect infestation in the United Kingdom. The author collected data and observations by collaborating with gardeners and farmers throughout the country, to gain a better understanding of the nature and extent of insect damage. He used the accumulated data to investigate the effectiveness of various pest control methods. For example, the book shows that a mixture of soot and water could be used as a cheap and effective insecticide against carrot root flies, and that a solution of alum in water was found to be a good and cheap remedy for the onion fly. In contrast, more expensive chemical applications proved ineffective and costly. The book also provides insights into the life history of various insects, including the Daddy Longlegs, Crane Flies, and Onion Maggot. The author provides a detailed account of his experiments on the effects of drought, immersion in water, nitrate of soda, and extreme cold on leather jacket grubs and other insects. This book remains an important historical record describing insect behavior in the late 1800s, and the methods that were being used at the time to control their damage to crops.
