Insect pests.

Abstract

Among the most important cultural and hygienic measures are destruction of the remains of harvested crops and volunteer plants, cultivation of soil to destroy insect eggs, pupae, &c., use of clean seed, proper planting and cultivation of the crop, rotation of crops, planting at the best time of year, clean harvesting and use of seed-beds. All these practices are applicable, wholly or in part, to food crops in this Territory. This is illustrated with a few well-known insect pests as examples.
