Publisher's Synopsis
The Ribbed Cocoon-Maker Of The Apple is a book written by Mark Vernon Slingerland in 1903. The book is a comprehensive guide to the life cycle and habits of the codling moth, which is a major pest of apple trees. The codling moth lays its eggs on the apple fruit, and the larvae then burrow into the fruit, causing damage and reducing the quality of the crop. The book provides detailed information on the biology, behavior, and ecology of the codling moth, as well as practical advice on how to control the pest using various methods, including cultural practices, biological control, and chemical pesticides. The author also discusses the economic impact of the codling moth on the apple industry, and the importance of effective pest management strategies for the sustainability of apple production. The Ribbed Cocoon-Maker Of The Apple is a valuable resource for apple growers, entomologists, and anyone interested in the study of insect pests and their control.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
