Flower-garden troubles are due to many causes, such as poor soil, unfavorable weather conditions, plant diseases, and attacks by insects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of Common Garden Pests: Designed for the Thousands of Pennsylvania Amateur Gardeners Aiding Our Government in the Great War Most important to the grower is a knowledge of how an insect pest secures its food, whether by chewing and swallowing bits of plant food, or by piercing and sucking out the plant juices, or lapping up liquids. Chewing insects are controlled by sprays of arsenic compounds, but sucking insects must be hit with a contact spray of corrosive or oily nature for killing effect. Special uses of poisons and formulae are dis cussed later. Plant diseases are caused by bacteria, slime-moulds or fungi, which attack the tissues and interfere with the growth and reproduction of plants. Sometimes moisture or soil conditions produce harmful results which simulate genuine diseases. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Greenhouse Pests written by Charles C. Compton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greenhouse Pests: A Manual of Practice in the Control of Insects and Other Pests Attacking Ornamental Plants and Flowers Grown Under Glass in Illinois In the state as a whole, the total damage done by insects and other injurious forms of animal life is estimated at present to range from 10% to 25% of the value of all the flowers and Ornamentals grown under glass. Assuming 1570 as a fair average reduction, we can safely say that the annual crop would be worth more than it is now if the industry did not have to pay tribute to these pests. No crop is without its pests, and some have a dozen or more, so that the grower must be on his guard day and night through the grow ing season and even throughout, the year, in order to prevent all his profits from being literally eaten Up by one or another of these insidious enemies. Now the roots are attacked, now the stems and leaves, and now the flowers themselves. Sometimes only a few plants may be injured; again a whole crop may be wiped out. It is probably true that no single operation in the greenhouse yields as large returns as that which checks the depredations of insects, since any one of the major pests would be able to destroy a crop, commercially, before it could be matured if no control measures were applied.

Download or read book The Insect and Other Allied Pests written by Fred V. Theobald and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Insect and Other Allied Pests: Of Orchard, Bush and Hothouse Fruits and Their Prevention and Treatment This book is written solely with the object of placing before fruit-growers, gardeners and amateurs an account of the insects, mites and worms which attack and cause disease amongst fruit trees, bushes, etc., both in the open and under glass. Some mention is made of methods of prevention, even if they give only partial relief, and also of the various forms of treatment that have been adopted to destroy the insect and other enemies. The volume is by no means complete, but it has reached such proportions that it is impossible to give all the information it was hoped to. Nevertheless, all the known pests to date and all those insect and allied creatures which have been recorded as having done damage are mentioned. My thanks must be expressed to Mr. Robert Newstead, Mr. C. O. Waterhouse and Mr. W. F. Emptage for much valuable help during the writing of the work, also to so many fruit-growers that it would be invidious to mention names. The photographs have mainly been taken for me by Mr. Edenden, and a few have been prepared by Mr. Blakey, Mr. Hammond, Mr. Tonge and Mr. Rintoul. Professor Felt of New York, Mr. Claude Fuller of Natal and Mr. Newstead have also kindly sent me photographs of Scale Insects and Fruit Fly damage. A few figures have also been reproduced from my Reports issued from the S. E. Agricultural College. The drawings have mostly been prepared by Mr. Horace Knight.
