Summary
Details

""The Strawberry Rootworn, a New Pest on Greenhouse Rose"" is a specialized entomological study authored by Charles Adolph Weigel that details the emergence and impact of a significant agricultural threat. This work focuses on the strawberry rootworm (Paria canella), documenting its transition from field crops to the controlled environments of rose greenhouses, where it caused extensive damage to commercial floral production in the early 20th century.

The text provides a comprehensive analysis of the beetle's life cycle, feeding habits, and the specific nature of the injury it inflicts upon rose plants. Weigel offers detailed observations on how the pest affects both the root systems and the foliage, while also presenting researched methods for its control and eradication. As an important record of historical pest management, this work captures a pivotal moment in the evolution of greenhouse horticulture and the scientific efforts to protect ornamental crops. It remains a valuable resource for researchers of economic entomology and those interested in the history of American agricultural science.
