Sinopsis
Excerpt from Report of Observations of Injurious Insects and Common Farm Pests During the Year 1885: With Methods of Prevention and Remedy
IN once again submitting my Annual Report, I have, as in previous years, to offer my hearty thanks, both to the many friends who have kindly aided me by their communications, and also to the Agricultural Press for the great assistance that their support gives to the subject of prevention of farm insects, and the encouragement which the courteous assistance they grant gives to myself in the work.
The chief features of the insect attacks of the past season have been the great amount of Aphides or Plant Lice, which swarmed on most crops in consequence of the long drought being favourable to their increase. Surface-caterpillars also were unusually destructive throughout the autumn, and but for the snow, which in melting brings wet alternately with frost to bear on them (a state of things especially destructive to them), a further visitation was to be expected this spring. Some kinds of injurious crop insects, not previously noticed in these Reports, have been brought forward, and amongst various notes of habits, means of prevention, &c., which have been reported, I wish particularly to draw attention to the observation at p. 21 on absence of injury from Daddy Longlegs grubs where the land was thoroughly trampled by cattle. The observations of each year show more and more the importance of autumn measures to destroy, in embryo, the pests that, if left alone, raise (as a regularly recurring loss and trouble) the various attacks which devastate cr0ps sown after broken-up pasture.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book documents observations made about crop insects and pests prevalent in the British agricultural landscape of 1885. The author draws on the contributions and expertise of farmers, scientists, and fellow entomologists to provide a comprehensive account of the challenges faced by British agriculture in managing pests that cause substantial damage to important crops such as beans and corn. The author's own background in entomology and agricultural science is evident throughout the text as she provides detailed descriptions of the life cycles and behaviors of the pests, and discusses effective methods for their prevention and control. Of particular interest is the discussion on the use of chemicals such as gas lime and nitrate of soda, as well as cultivation practices and crop rotation, in managing pest populations. These insights are valuable not only for understanding the historical context of pest management in British agriculture but also for informing current practices and research in sustainable agriculture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
