"Nicotine Dust For Control Of Truck-crop Insects" explores the use of nicotine as an early method of pest control in agriculture. This historical text details the application of nicotine dust for managing insect populations that affect truck crops, which are vegetables grown for market. The book provides insights into the techniques, effectiveness, and challenges associated with using nicotine-based insecticides in an era when synthetic alternatives were not yet widely available. It offers a valuable perspective on the evolution of pest management practices and the historical reliance on natural compounds for agricultural protection. This book will be of interest to agricultural historians, entomologists, and anyone curious about the early methods used to protect crops from insect damage.
