Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vegetable Weevil The primary injury by the vegetable weevil larvae is caused when they devour the buds of the host plants, stunting them (fig. And later the foliage, with the exception of the main stems and larger veins. The loss of the leaves not only interferes with the normal functioning of the plants but affects the market value of the crops (figs. 4, 0; In the South the leaves of turnips have a greater market value than the roots. Even though the infestation is not severe enough to cause noticeable injury, the mere presence of the larvae lowers the market value of the crops. Growers in the Crystal Springs district of Mississippi have reported losses as high as 90 percent, and losses of 40 to 70 percent are frequent. During 1933 the estimated crop losses for tomatoes alone ranged from 5 to 70 percent of the total value of the crop. Normally acres or more are planted to this crop each year in this district. Entire plantings of turnips (fig. Carrots, cabbages, mustard, and spinach have been destroyed or injured seriously during the early stages of growth by this weevil, and the growing of carrots on a commercial scale in this district has been practically aban doned. The injury, particularly to to mato and eggplant, has been observed' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vegetable Weevil: Listroderes Obliquus Light Experimenta - Experiments were undertaken to determine whether or not the vegetable weevil would fly, with-the idea in mind that if they did, light traps might be used for control. A large gasoline lantern was set up in a heavily infested field of carrots. The lantern was lighted about seven 0 'clock in the evening and kept lighted until nine o'clock. Surrounding the light were large frames covered with paper smeared with tanglefoot. Besides the white light Of the lamp, blue, amber, red, and green screens were used for a number Of evenings in May when the young adults were emerging from the ground. At no time were weevils seen in flight, but were readily found walking on the ground and feeding on the foliage of potato plants growing closely adjacent to the infested carrot field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boll Weevil Problem: With Special Reference to Means of Reducing Damage This bulletin, dealing with work done under the direction of Dr. L. O. Howard, Chief of the Bureau of Entomology, is intended to cover in a general way the whole field of the control of the boll weevil. As this control is inseparably connected with the life history and habits of the insect and, in fact, must be based thereon, attention is given to the principal features of the insects economy. In addition, information is given relating to the amount of damage done, the extent of the infested territory, and such other matters as are of special interest at this time. Like many of the most important injurious insects in this country, the cotton boll weevil is not a native of the United States. Its original home was undoubtedly in the plateau region of Mexico or Central America, and it may originally have fed upon some plant other than cotton. This is not necessarily the case, however, since there is evidence that the same region is the original home of the cotton plant itself. Previous to 1892 the insect had spread through Mexico, but little is known regarding the extent or rapidity of this dispersion. The records indicate, however, that it had probably caused the abandonment of cotton in certain regions. About 1802 the boll weevil crossed the Rio Grande near Brownsville, Tex. It may have flown across, or it is possible that it was carried over in seed cotton to be ginned at Brownsville. By 1894 it had spread to a half dozen counties in southern Texas and was brought to the attention of the Bureau of Entomology. A preliminar examination, made under the direction of Dr. L. O. Howard by Mr. C. H. T. Townsend, showed the enormous capacity for damage of the pest. Subsequent events have verified in every way the predictions that were made at that time, when the insect had not attracted any considerable amount of attention in the South. Since 1894 the boll weevil has extended its range annually from 40 to 70 miles, although in two instances the winter conditions have been such as to cause a decrease in the infested area. During the first ten years after its advent into this country the annual rate of spread was 5,640 square miles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Western Cabbage Flea-Beetle The habitual appearance of this species In great abundance on young plants is a factor which prohibits the use of anything except immediate application of poisonous substances like the arsenicals or repellents, but there Is little doubt that in the course of time this pest will lessen in numbers, provided concerted action Is taken to control it. Ameng the best remedies to be employed IS the establish ment of clean culture throughout the year from early spring until the crop is off and even thereafter. To accomplish this all cru'ciferous and related weeds on which the insects normally feed and-breed Should be kept down. It is desirable, therefore that the grower become familiar with all of these plants, or else it will be necessary to destroy all weeds and keep the fields free from them at all times. This maybe accomplished by the ordinary process of weeding and bybui'ning over after the crop is off and again before the crop is planted. Plow ing over may be sufficient at either time.

Download or read book Birds That Eat the Cotton Boll Weevil written by Arthur H. Howell and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-25 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds That Eat the Cotton Boll Weevil: A Report of Progress The problem of controlling the ravages of the cotton boll weevil in the United States is of such moment that it is being studied by the Department of Agriculture from a number of different standpoints. One of these is the relation of birds to the weevil. Accurate informa tion as to the value of our native birds as destroyers of this pest is of considerable importance to the cotton grower, but such information can be obtained only by means of careful and continued observation in the field, supplemented by study of the stomach contents of the birds. Field observations alone, unverified by stomach examinations, have proved unreliable. Birds may be observed picking insects from cotton plants, but it does not follow that the insects are boll weevils; nor is the statement that boll weevils have been found in birds' stomachs, if made by persons unaccustomed to the identification of insects, to be accepted as conclusive. Insect remains in a bird's stomach are nearly always in a more or less disintegrated condition, so that identification of the species is difficult and requires the services of a specialist. Investigation of the problem was begun by the Biological Survey in the fall of 1904 under the direction of Vernon Bailey. The results of this study, with a summary of work done by the Bureau of Entomology, were published in a special bulletin by Mr. Bailey in Stomachs of 38 species of birds were examined, and 11 species were found to have eaten boll weevils. The number of species known to feed on the weevil was increased to 20. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Insects Injurious to Vegetable Crops: A Series of Articles Dealing With Insects of This Class The various species of noxious insects discussed have, with few exceptions, been destructive during the years 1900 and 1901, but a few came under observation at an earlier date. The work is therefore, to a certain extent, a report on the principal insects which have been injurious and whose ravages have been brought to the attention of this office as affecting the vegetable crops of the country during the past two years. Circumstances beyond the writer's control have pre vented the publication of this matter until the present time. The initial article treats of the potato stalk weevil, which has been very injurious for a number of years but has never received extensive notice in any of the publications of this Department; hence, all avail able facts concerning it, together with an original illustration, have been brought together. The Northern leaf-footed plant-bug attracted more attention during the last two years than ever before in its his tory, and its abundance in the Vicinity of the District of Columbia enabled a study of its habits and the practical completion of a knowl edge of its life history, the results of which are here given.
