Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Control of Insect Pests in Canada A brief reference has already been made to the San José Scale Act, which was passed by the Federal Government in 1898, prohibiting the importation of trees and other nursery stock from countries in which the San Jose Scale occurred. In 1901, fumigation stations were established at six of the customs ports, through which nursery stock was allowed to cuter during certain periods of the year after fumiga tion with hydrocyanic acid gas. Beyond this power to fumigate imports, the Federal Government had no authority to take further action, should it be necessary, to prevent the introduction of other insect pests into Canada or the spreading of insect pests already existing in Canada. In 1909, winter webs of the Brown-tail Moth were found on shipments of nursery stock imported from France into Ontario, Quebec. And British Columbia; the same insect was also firmly established in Nova Scotia. It was necessary, therefore, that we should have the requisite powers to prevent the introduction of this pest into these parts of Canada not already infested and its spreading in regions where it had become established. Accordingly, The Destructive Insect and Pest Act was passed in 1910, under which regulations were made provid ing for the prohibition of entry, fumigation on entry, or inspection subsequent to entry, of nursery stock, or defining other conditions under which nursery stock and other vegetation might be introduced into Canada. The regulations, which include all the provisions of the San J osé Scale Act, also provided for the treatment of vegs tation or premises to prevent the spreading of insect pests, the destruction of any crop, tree, and other vegetation infested, or suspected to be infested, the granting of compensation, and such other steps as might be considered necessary to carry out the objects of the Act. All vegetation and nursery stock, except certain classes of fiorists' stock, such as greenhouse grown plants, herbaceous perennials, bedding plants, &c., is allowed to enter Canada through certain ports only. At six if which, namely, St. John, NB St. John's, p.q.; Niagara Falls, Ont.; Windsor, Ont.; Winnipeg, Man.; and Van couver, b.c fumigation stations are established. Where stock fumigation is fumigated before being released by the Customs, and a certificate of fumigation is given. For stock requiring inspection, a different procedure is necessary. All vegeta tion and nursery stock, except the classes already mentioned, coming from Europe, J span, or the States of Vermont, Maine. Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, is inspected, and the general method of procedure is as follows.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Control of Insect Pests in Manitoba The, best means of protecting against grasshoppers is the Criddle mixture. Devised by Mr. Norman t'riddle. To whom the agriculturalists of this province owe a lasting debt of gratitude. The basis of this mixture consists of horse droppings for which grasshoppers have a decided liking. Sixty pounds of horse droppings are poisoned by mixing in one pound of Paris green; two pounds of salt dissolved in half a pail of water are added and the whole is thoroughly mixed in a barrel. This mixture hi scattered broadcast round the infested or likely to be infested crop or field. Grasshoppers are also destroyed by means of hopperdozers which are devices for catching them as the trough-like hopper-dozens are dragged over the infested fields.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Insect Control The branch of Biological Science known generally as Economic Entomology has made enormous strides within the last ten or fifteen years. Its progress may be said to be an outcome of the greater attention that is being paid to Agricultural Science. Improved methods of transport have given the Agriculturist and Horticulturist a wider outlet for his produce, and the wheat fields of Manitoba and Illinois, the fruit orchards of California, Australia, and South Africa, the cattle ranches of Argentina and New Zealand, the cotton fields of Egypt and India, Uganda and Louisiana, have benefited accordingly. This wide distribution of food stuffs has brought about a corresponding increase in the range of injurious Insect pests, so that the adequate recognition of Economic Entomology and the scientific application of Insect Control measures are of increasing importance. In no branch of human knowledge, perhaps, has a more extensive literature accumulated in a shorter period of time. The literature concerning Economic Entomology has, in fact, become unwieldy, consisting as it does, to a large extent, of short articles or brief notes scattered throughout a wide range of scientific and technical journals, inaccessible very often to the average scientific man, and, as often as not, published in an unfamiliar language. Short abstracts of many such articles are published monthly in the Review of Applied Entomology, the Experimental Station Record, and the Monthly Bulletin of Agricultural Intelligence and Plant Diseases (Rome), but no attempt has as yet been made to put forward a digest, a general resume, of the progress of this branch of Science during the last twenty years.

This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collected Leaflets on Insect Pests of Fruit Trees The sections in a leaflet follow on naturally. The first thing which attracts attention to a pest is the damage. Under "Plants Attacked and Nature of Damage" is given a list of the crops likely to be attacked and the characteristic signs of injury. Under the next section, "Description and Life-History" are described, the appearance of the pest in its various forms, and its life-history or habits, showing where it lives at each season of the year and which are its vulnerable stages. With this information it is then possible to follow the suggestions given under "Measures of Control," carrying out each operation with discretion and not by rule of thumb - a most important point, for success is often dependent on adapting a measure to meet special local conditions. Notes on Insects in General. - As it is impossible to deal separately with many insects in the leaflets themselves, a few general notes may be found useful. Description. - Insects belong to a group of creatures characterised (1) by the possession of a jointed body which is supported not by bones inside but by a hard horny skin, and (2) by the possession on one or more segments of the body of jointed "appendages" which may be modified to act as legs, jaws, antennae (feelers), &c. Strictly speaking, the term Insects should be confined to the creatures in the group with only three pairs of legs (in addition to other characteristics), such, for instance, as moths, beetles or bugs, but for practical purposes the name usually includes the groups containing mites (red spiders) and spiders with four pairs of legs, and the millipedes and centipedes with many pairs of legs. From the practical point of view no detailed knowledge of the various organs of the body is necessary but it is helpful to know a little of the features which characterise an insect as a living creature. The body consists of three parts - the head, the thorax and the abdomen. (a) The head bears the antennae (or "feelers"). which are not only organs of touch but are probably connected with other senses, possibly in some forms with smell. (Little, however, is known about the senses of insects except that by some means they smell and probably hear also.) There are also on the head the eyes which when well developed enable them to see the shape of things, or in other cases may be only sufficient to detect light or darkness. The mouth, on the underside of the head, is surrounded by "appendages" which vary in the different groups, in some taking the form of biting jaws and fingerlike organs to push food between them, while in others the same organs may be modified so as to form a "trunk" enabling the insect to bore holes and suck up juices.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Organized Programs to Utilize Natural Enemies of Pests in Canada, Mexico, United States: Papers Presented at the Joint Symposium, National Meeting of the Entomological Society of America, Nov. 30-Dec. 4, 1975, New Orleans, Louisiana In the United States, classical biological control programs at the State level are carried out mainly by either State Departments of Agriculture or State Agriculture Experiment Stations. The latter are most often associated with State universities, although not invariably. By classical biological control programs I mean, of course, the, importation and use of exotic natural enemies to control insect and weed pests. This is not the only kind of biological control work done in the States for there are also programs aimed at the augmentation and/or conservation of natural enemies already present in the regions under consideration but which, unaided by man, are not sufficiently effective to reduce pest abundance to economically acceptable levels. Programs of this sort are less common than those of the classical type, though not necessarily less important. Not only have both State Departments of Agriculture and State Agricultural Experiment Stations supported natural enemy augmentation programs, but so also, in a few cases, have commercial biological control and pest management agencies.

Download or read book White Grubs and Their Control in Eastern Canada Classic Reprint written by G. H. Hammond and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-07 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from White Grubs and Their Control in Eastern Canada White grubs, the immature stages of June beetles, are common and destruo tive insects. They live below ground and attack the roots of pasture and meadow plants, hoed and grain crops, garden flowers and vegetables, as well as nursery stock and forest seedlings. In Eastern Canada these insects require three years to develop from the egg to the mature adult stage. The greater proportion of their-destructive activity occurs in the second-year stage of the grubs. How ever, as they occur in different stages of their three-year life-cycle in different parts of the country in the same year, crops may be very severely injured in one locality while no material damage is being suffered in another. White grubs live in the soil and hence may cause much injury before their presence is realized. They feed on plant roots, cutting them off below the soil surface, which causes the plants to wither and die. Fibrous-rooted plants, like timothy, are very susceptible to injury; plants like sweet clover and alfalfa, possessed of a strong, tough tap-root system, can usually survive a severe infesta tion. Root crops and vegetables, on the other hand, may have the tubers and roots so damaged as to be unmarketable and virtually destroyed for domestic use without any evidence of injury above ground. The insects lay their eggs by preference in loose sod of pasture or meadow on light land. Therefore, in general, short crop rotations are effective in reducing injury. Where alfalfa can be grown, a combination rotation should be used in which 25 per cent of the land is left in alfalfa for a 3 - year period and the remainder rotated between. A hoed crop, a grain crop and a hay crop. Where alfalfa cannot be grown successfully, a 5-year rotation, in which all the land is worked at least in 3 years of the 5, is of great value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Colorado Potato Beetle in Canada Among the insects which have been introduced into Canada in modern times, none have become so widespread, so well known to all the people, or have caused such great annual losses as the Colorado potato beetle. In the half century since its first appearance in Ontario it has become established ln all of the provinces of the Dominion. The damage caused by the insect year after year and the annual expenditure necessary for its control together amount. To an enormous tax on one of the great food crops of the country. An intensive study of the insect was incepted by the senior author at Ottawa in 1919, and in that year and the following year he was assisted by Mr. J. A. Flock. Mr. H. F. Hudson undertook studies at Strathroy, Ont, in 1920 and 1921, and Mr. R. P. Gorham at Fredericton, n.b., in 1921 and 1922. In all of these investigations much new data have been assembled.

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.
