Download or read book Greenhouse Pests written by Charles C. Compton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-21 with total page 120 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Victory Garden Insect Guide: May 1944 A knowledge of insects and their food habits will be useful in applying control measures and will also lessen the sometimes groundless fear of damage they may cause. For ex ample, many insects that will not cause crop damage will be found in the garden, their presence being merely incidental. On the other hand, some insects, such as blister beetles, grasshop pers, and cutworms, feed on a wide variety of plants. Others, such as cabbage worms (caterpillars) and harlequin bugs, feed on closely related crops like cabbage, col lards, kale, and broccoli. The Mex ican bean beetle feeds only on beans, the striped cucumber beetle on squash and other members of the squash family, such as pumpkins and melons.

Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
