Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to the Hessian Fly, one of the world's most destructive pests to the wheat industry. The Hessian Fly first appeared in the 1700s on the east coast of the United States, and since has spread across wheat-growing areas of the country. The book covers the Hessian Fly's biology, habits, and the history of its spread through the United States, including the losses it has inflicted on wheat production throughout the years. The author also explores the various biological controls that can be used to mitigate its impact on wheat crops, while also delving into the history of its natural enemies, particularly the Semiotcllus destructor, a type of chalcid wasp that parasitizes the Hessian Fly.
