Summary
Details

""The One-Spray Method In The Control Of The Codling Moth And The Plum Curculio (Second Report)"" details early 20th-century research into effective pest control methods for fruit orchards. Authored by Altus Lacy Quaintance and Eugene Wiley Scott, this report explores the efficacy of a single-application spraying technique to combat the codling moth and plum curculio, two significant threats to fruit production. This report provides valuable insights into the historical development of pest management strategies and the challenges faced by agricultural scientists in protecting crops.

Researchers, historians of science, and anyone interested in the evolution of agricultural practices will find this report a compelling look at the early efforts to safeguard fruit harvests from devastating insect infestations.
