Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the results of field experiments on pest control in apple orchards from 1913 to 1915. The author narrates their three main concerns: codling moth, apple scab, and plum curculio. For each, they experimented with the timing and contents of sprays, recording the results in the percentage of fruit affected. They also investigated the effects of weather patterns and the accumulation of spray effects over multiple years. This book will appeal to those interested in the history of orchard management or of pest control. Its straightforward prose and detailed record of methods and results also make it valuable to orchardists and entomologists looking to improve their own pest control strategies.
