Book excerpt: A study was conducted at Aroostook Farm, near Presque Isle, Maine, 1954 to 1958, inclusive, to determine the effects of certain agronomic cultural practices designed to delay emergence of potato plants and to decrease their exposure to infestation by spring migrants. This technical bulletin reports the results of that study.

Download or read book Pest Control Strategies written by Edward H. Smith and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pest Control Strategies is a compilation of papers presented at the symposium held at Cornell University in June 1977. It covers various aspects and issues on pest control. It also discusses the risks and benefits of using pesticides on human health as well as on the economy and environment. Composed of four parts, the book provides an overview of the various alternative pest control techniques and identifies possible solutions on crop pest problems. Part 1 discusses the role of the U.S. Department of Agriculture in the integrated pest management programs and policy. The following part discusses the complexity of pest management in terms of socioeconomic and legal aspects. Part 3 presents the different case studies about pest management. These case studies include the potentials for research and implementation of integrated pest management on deciduous tree-fruits and other agricultural crops. The last part of this collection describes the current status, needs, and future developments of integrated pest management. This book will be relevant to extension leaders, educators, government officials, and agriculturists as well as to students, teachers, and researchers who are interested in the integrated pest management program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Vegetable Pests, Second Edition, provides two types of diagnostic aids: the easy-to-use "guides to pests of vegetable crops", which guides the reader to the most likely pests of each vegetable crop based on the portion of the plant attacked and the category of pest; and the more technical dichotomous keys for identification of many of the difficult-to-identify species. It includes over 300 common and occasional pest species, detailing the geographic distribution of vegetable pests, host plant relationships, natural enemies, damage, life history, and methods of control and damage prevention. - Presents a current and comprehensive synthesis of vetted information for the support of both commercial and home vegetable production - Includes over 300 common and occasional pest species, or species complexes, known to affect vegetables grown in the United States and Canada - Summarizes the important findings of the last 150 years - Provides citations to the original literature

Download or read book Insecticidal Control of Potato Infesting Aphids in Northeastern Maine written by Geddes W. Simpson and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aphid populations for the growing seasons of 1970, 1971, and 1972 were variable. It is possible, however, to rate the efficacy of the various insecticides tested in controlling potato infesting aphids in Northeastern Maine. Soil applications of aldicarb and DS 15,647 and foliar application of acephate were the most effective materials tested. The insecticides phosmet (foliar) and phoxim (soil) did not provide much protection against potato infesting aphids in these tests. Bayer 77,049, parathion, Penick SBP 1382, Sandoz-Wander 52,139 and Uniroyal 840 did not provide effective control of potato infesting aphids at the rates used in these tests. All other insecticides tested adequately controlled aphid populations, but their effects on the spread of leaf roll varied. Some of the materials tested were experimental materials and not all are available for commercial use.
