Book excerpt: Excerpt from Injurious Insects and Plant Diseases Therefore, if a strange insect makes its appearance threatening the destruction of some plant or crop, before selecting a method to repel or destroy it, it is first necessary to ascertain how it feeds. If it belongs to the first division, and like the potato beetle, eat the leaves, it may be easily destroyed by Paris green applied to its food substance, either in a powder or liquid, as the poison will be eaten by them with their 'food.

This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Circular in Relation to Some Injurious Insects and Plant Diseases The list of plants on which this insect can live has constantly been extended as it becomes more widely disseminated, until now twenty-one families, comprising in all thirty-one genera and fifty-nine species of plants, are known to have harbored it. This shows an almost omniverous habit of feeding when taken simply as a general statement; but it is an important fact that only upon the species of the Rosaceae, and a few other incidental plants, does it thrive so as to do great harm. However, upon many of the others named, it lives and multiplies in such number as to render it necessary to take careful note of all these plants, if they occur in proximity to infested premises, or if orchards are to be planted in proximity to gardens, parks or other ornamental plantings. This pest is likely to occur where one would be least likely to suspect it, hence we publish the full list of host plants known to us. It has been compiled from our own records and from the literature on the subject All those marked with an asterisk (*) have been found infested in this State. This list is of special importance to nurserymen and all persons who wish to make critical examinations for the San Jose Scale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Insects Injurious to Fruits It has been the aim of the author of this work to bring together all the important facts relating to insects known to be injurious to fruits in all parts of Canada and the United States, to add to the information thus obtained the knowl edge he has acquired of the habits and life-history of many of our insect pests by an experience of over twenty years as a fruit-grower and a student of entomology, and to pre sent the results in as concise and plain a manner as possible, avoiding all scientific phraseology except such as is necessary to accuracy. The arrangement adopted under the several headings, by which the insect pests which attack the different parts of the tree or vine under consideration are grouped together, will, it is hoped, with the aid of the illustrations, greatly facilitate the determination of any injurious species. When having before him its history briefly traced and the remedies which have been found most useful in subduing the insect, the reader will at once be enabled to decide as to the best meth ods to be employed. The author desires to make the fullest acknowledgment to those of whose work he has availed himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports on Injurious Insects During the last few years there has been considerable loss experienced in some of the states to the east of us from the attacks of certain weevils, known commonly as Bill Bugs, upon corn when it is just coming above ground, but up to the present year we have had no information of injuries from these insects in this state. It seems, however, that we are no longer to be favored in this respect as reports and specimens from a number of localities as well as a considerable abnud ance of the insects in the vicinity of Ames points to the in crease of the pests and probable serious losses another year. There are several different species concerned in the work in the states east of us, and as most of these occur in Iowa it is probable that we will have to consider most of them in time as destructive species, but during the present season we have had but two species sent to us or collected here in such numbers as to indicate any serious abundance.

Download or read book Injurious Insects and Useful Birds Successful Control of Farm Pests Classic Reprint written by F. L. Washburn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Injurious Insects and Useful Birds, Successful Control of Farm Pests This book has been written in the hope of supplying the needs of high school where Agriculture is taught, and of Agricultural Colleges which demand a good text-book that is not too technical, and where the work embraces a large field in which there is a call for practical information and suggestions. It is intended also to supply farmers, orchardists, vegetable growers, owners of gardens, and housekeepers with a reference book for guidance in a campaign against injurious insects and four-footed pests of the farm, and to assist them in obtaining information about some of our more common birds in their relation to agriculture. The widespread and growing interest in this latter group of animals is not to be disregarded. The suggestions contained herein are largely the results of twenty-one years of work in Economic Entomology on the part of the author. Yet in so large a field one must of necessity have recourse to much experience not his own, and the author has not hesitated to obtain desired information from many reliable publications; such as bulletins and circulars from the United States Department of Agriculture, bulletins from the Geneva and the Cornell stations, and from all sections of the country. Many illustrations are from Minnesota State publications. I have also been favored by the kindness of others who have loaned their cuts. Courtesies of this kind, which are hereby gratefully acknowledged, have been extended by the Bureau of Entomology, United States Department of Agriculture; P. J. Parrott, of the New York (Geneva) station; Dr. G. W. Herrick, of the Cornell station; the California station; Professor G. H. Dean, of Kansas; C.P. Gillette, of Colorado; R. A. Cooley, of Montana; W. C. O'Kane, of New Hampshire; H. A. Morgan, of Tennessee; W. E. Britton, of Connecticut; and the Ohio station. For figures 324 and 326 the author is indebted to the Country Gentleman.

Download or read book Text Book of the Diseases of Trees Classic Reprint written by Robert Hartig and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Text-Book of the Diseases of Trees Some fifty years ago a number of able investigators, of whom only Saxesen, Th. Hartig, and Ratzeburg need be named here, applied themselves to the study of insects. The life-history of forest insects, their harmfulness or usefulness, soon became the favourite study of many practical foresters, and in a few decades the joint efforts of numerous workers were rewarded by the elevation of Forest Entomology to the position of a much appreciated subject of scientific instruction, which has become the common property of all educated foresters. The case was otherwise with those plant-diseases which cannot be ascribed to the injuries of animals. Their investi gation was delayed until quite recently; for it was only after botanical science, by the aid of its chief instrument, the microscope, had obtained a clear insight into the normal strue ture and vital phenomena of plants, and especially after the study of fungi had been prosecuted in the last few decades by a series of distinguished investigators, that the examination of the phenomena of disease in the life of plants could be undertaken with a prospect of success.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Insects Injurious to Truck Crops After the larvae or young commence to appear, the plants showing the greatest injury are treated with the dust, this application usually being held sufficient for some time. The lancl-plaster application is from three to four times as expensive as a Paris-green spray of equal strength, and in several cases in the Norfolk region the application of the unnecessary plaster to the already acid soil has produced a state of disease in the cabbage crop following the potatoes which has lessened the production to a considerable degree. In the case of a spray this acidity is not imparted to the soil and injury to cabbage is thus avoided. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Insect Pests and Plant Diseases written by British Columbia Agriculture Department and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Insect Pests and Plant Diseases: Containing Remedies and Suggestions Recommended for Adoption by Farmers, Fruit-Growers, and Gardeners of the Province There is probably no one general method by which the farmer or fruit-grower can do more to protect his crops from insect injury than by clean culture. A large proportion of injurious insects pass the winter under rubbish of many sorts, and the burning of this will destroy them. It is a safe rule, whenever a crop is gathered, to clear off the remnant-s and destroy them as completely as possible. In orchards this recommendation is Of special value. In dead wood on the trees, or on the ground, many species hide or complete their development during the winter. Every dead branch or twig should be cut, and with other rubbish taken out and burned. Loose' bark is of little or no value to a tree, while it affords shelter to many hibernating species. Never leave an Old wood-pile near an orchard. Many insects breed preferably in dead wood, but when it becomes too dry or rotten, they have a sharp instinct that enables them to discover a weak or sickly tree, and this they may attack and ruin, where otherwise it might recover. Fallen or diseased fruit should always be destroyed or fed to hogs. Field and orchard should contain, as nearly as possible, nothing save the crop, and certainly neither rubbish nor remnants. For field crops, a thorough system of crop rotation prevents the multiplication of many insect pests and plant diseases. It is a well established general rule that plants or trees are better able to resist insect attack when in a thrifty growing condition than when weak in vitality; consequently, such fertilisation as will bring about the healthiest growth is desirable. It has long been Observed that some varieties of fruits, vegetables and grains are more subject to insect attacks than others. Consequently, other things being equal, it is advisable to select such varieties for planting. Of mechanical methods, the simplest way of dealing with many insects, is to pick them off by hand; in the garden and home grounds, caterpillars of most kinds may be easily dealt with so, or their nests destroyed, in the case of those having such.
