Download or read book Insecticides and Equipment for Controlling Insects on Fruits and Vegetables Classic Reprint written by Neale Frederick Howard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Insecticides and Equipment for Controlling Insects on Fruits and Vegetables Specifically, this publication deals with the nature Of the chemicals more commonly used to control insects on fruits, vegetables, and flowering plants, and gives information on how to prepare such insecticides for use against many common pests. A section is devoted to a discussion Of spraying and dusting equipment. Most insecticides will become scarce as stocks are depleted and re placement becomes difficult. It is not only thrifty, but patriotic as well, to use them carefully. Careful application of minimum amounts will do a better job than careless use Of large quantities. The aim should be to mix the material thoroughly and apply it as a light, even coating to the parts of the plant affected by the insect. Applying the material to the parts affected saves material and insures effective control of the pest. For more specific information on the control Of any pest, the entomological publications Of the State or Federal Government, or a State or Federal entomologist, or an entomologist Of some other organization, Should be consulted. If the pest is not identified, pre served or dead specimens Of the insect or a description Of its injury should accompany the request for information on control.

Download or read book Methods of Sun Drying Fruits Classic Reprint written by Paul Frothingham Nichols and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Methods of Sun-Drying Fruits Fruit-drying is of peculiar importance in California. On the fresh basis the tonnage of fruit dried is four or five times as great as that canned. The principal drying fruits of the world are grown in this state. The concentration of fruits by drying reduces the cost of transportation to the distant markets that are the principal outlets for California fruits. In no state of the Union except California, where the climate is especially favorable, is the sun-drying3 of fruits practiced on an exten sive scale. California produces well over 90 per cent of the dried-fruit output of the United States, only prunes and apples being dried in amounts of commercial significance in other states, where the use of artificial heat is essential for satisfactory drying. Apples are never sun dried commercially, even in California. Of the total tonnage of dried fruits produced in the world, dates are the largest item, amounting to from to Of this amount, however, only about 10 per cent enters international commerce, and the United States produces only a negligible tonnage. The United States production of dried figs is also relatively small. In the produc tion of other dried fruits the output of California bulks large. Accord ing to the California Cooperative Crop Reporting Service, the annual output of dried fruits in California for 1930, 1931, and 1932 averaged over tons of prunes, and over of raisins. The production of dried apricots and of peaches averages about tons each; figs, tons; and pears, less than tons.

Download or read book Manual of Fruit Insects Classic Reprint written by Mark Vernon Slingerland and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Fruit Insects For nearly twenty years Professor Slingerland, as Assistant Entomologist of the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station, devoted the greater part of his time to studying the insect problems encountered by the fruit-growers of New York State. The results of some of these studies were published as bulletins of the Station, but a large amount of material remained unpublished. It was the idea of making this material available to other workers and at the same time bringing together in con nected form all the more important known facts concerning the insect enemies of our deciduous fruits, that led Professor Slinger land in the fall of 1908 to begin writing this book. During the few remaining months of his life he worked rapidly, and in spite Of failing health wrote accounts of more than one-half Of the apple insects and some others, mostly scale insects. After Professor Slingerland's death in March, 1909, I collected and preserved the manuscript, thinking that it might be possible to publish it without much additional work. While the treat ment of each insect was complete in itself, the Whole was so dis connected that this plan had to be abandoned. Accordingly, in the summer of 1910 I undertook the task of completing the book, following Professor Slingerland's outline. In doing so, I have made free use of his unpublished notes, and most of the illustra tions are from his photographs.

Book excerpt: Their natural enemies largely determine the population size and dynamic behavior of many plant-eating insects. Any reduction in enemy number can result in an insect outbreak. Applied biological control is thus one strategy for restoring functional biodiversity in many agroecosystems. Predators and Parasitoids addresses the role of natural enemies i
Download or read book Edible Insects written by Arnold van Huis and published by Bright Sparks. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edible insects have always been a part of human diets, but in some societies there remains a degree of disdain and disgust for their consumption. Although the majority of consumed insects are gathered in forest habitats, mass-rearing systems are being developed in many countries. Insects offer a significant opportunity to merge traditional knowledge and modern science to improve human food security worldwide. This publication describes the contribution of insects to food security and examines future prospects for raising insects at a commercial scale to improve food and feed production, diversify diets, and support livelihoods in both developing and developed countries. It shows the many traditional and potential new uses of insects for direct human consumption and the opportunities for and constraints to farming them for food and feed. It examines the body of research on issues such as insect nutrition and food safety, the use of insects as animal feed, and the processing and preservation of insects and their products. It highlights the need to develop a regulatory framework to govern the use of insects for food security. And it presents case studies and examples from around the world. Edible insects are a promising alternative to the conventional production of meat, either for direct human consumption or for indirect use as feedstock. To fully realise this potential, much work needs to be done by a wide range of stakeholders. This publication will boost awareness of the many valuable roles that insects play in sustaining nature and human life, and it will stimulate debate on the expansion of the use of insects as food and feed.
