Excerpt from Foreign Agriculture, Vol. 12: May 1948Various pests and diseases play costly annual havoc with plant and animal life in the Middle East. Wheat smut and rust, locusts, the Mediterranean fruit ¿y, field mice, foot-and-mouth disease, the Sunn insect, mildew of grapes, citrus scales, aphids, and internal and external parasites of animals are examples. Application of the combined knowledge in the fields of pathology, entomology, veterinary medicine, and chemistry is certainly greatly needed. The govern ments and farmers of these countries are aware of this serious problem, but they do not have the necessary number of qualified personnel or the technical facilities to cope with it adequately. Technical assistance in this field would be timely and would bring about important results within a relatively short time.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
