Excerpt from Experiments for the Control of the Grape Root-Worm
On the basis of the experiments described, two methods of con trol are recommended: (i) Molasses, 2 gallons, arsenate of lead, 6 pounds, and water 100 gallons, followed in about one week with an application of bordeaux mixture (8 - 8-ioo) and arsenate of lead 6 pounds; (2) two applications of bordeaux mixture (8-8 - Ioo) and arsenate of lead, 6 pounds at an interval of about ten days. The first system of treatment is especially recommended when the beetles are present in excessive numbers, but the second is advised for general vineyard spraying when beetles are not abundant.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the findings of a six-season study on methods to control the grape root-worm, an insect that for two decades had dramatically decreased the productivity of vineyards in New York and Pennsylvania. Economic impact from the pest had been significant due to its dual capacity to destroy grapevine foliage and roots. The author was tasked with testing the effectiveness of various insecticides and spray combinations to control the pest, and the book details these experiments, their methods, and results. Through these closely observed field studies, the author sought to not only provide grape growers with practical solutions to combat the pest but also to contribute to the scientific understanding of grape root-worm behavior and life cycle. The book's findings notably advanced the field of viticulture and pest control and continue to inform contemporary approaches to grape cultivation.
