The Apple Leaf-Sewer (Classic Reprint)

This book investigates the apple leaf-sewer, a pest that attacks apple trees, causing leaf damage and occasionally resulting in defoliation. Though the apple leaf-sewer has been known to cause damage since the late 19th century, the author's research is the first comprehensive study of the insect in over a century. The author details the life cycle of the apple leaf-sewer and provides numerous photographs of the insect at various stages of its development. The book also explores the effectiveness of spraying as a form of pest control and provides insight into the various natural enemies of the apple leaf-sewer, including parasitic wasps and ants.
