Excerpt from The Preparation of Nicotine Dust as an InsecticideThe idea of a standardized nicotine dust, first suggested by the writer as an improvement on tobacco dust for the control of the walnut aphis, has aroused much interest in connection with the possibilities of destroying a number of other insect pests by dusting where liquid spraying is, for one reason or another, ineffective or impractical. Several other kinds of aphis, various leaf hoppers and thrips and a number of lepidopterous larvae, beetles and bugs are already being successfully combatted by this means, and it is believed that important possibilities have been opened for further development.The present publication has been prepared in order to make known the methods and results of the work thus far.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
