Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the genesis of practical entomology in Canada, tracing the development of applied pest control from its humble beginnings in the 19th century to the establishment of specialized government services in the early 20th century. It chronicles the efforts of pioneering entomologists like William Saunders and James Fletcher, who laid the foundations for the scientific management of insect pests in agriculture and forestry. The author analyzes how government recognition of the need to control crop-damaging insects led to the establishment of the Dominion Entomological Service in 1884 and discusses the subsequent expansion of entomological work in the provinces. By highlighting the contributions of entomologists, this book shows how the field of applied entomology transitioned from a curiosity-driven pursuit to a vital component of modern agriculture, ensuring a food-secure future for Canada.
