Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Coconut Moth in Fiji: A History of Its Control by Means of Parasites' is a comprehensive scientific study detailing one of the most significant early triumphs in the field of biological pest control. Co-authored by J.D. Tothill, T.H.C. Taylor, and R.W. Paine, this work provides an exhaustive ac…count of the efforts to mitigate the devastating impact of the coconut moth (Levuana iridescens) on the vital coconut industry of Fiji. The book meticulously chronicles the ecological challenges faced by the region and the rigorous scientific process involved in identifying and introducing natural parasitic enemies to manage the moth population.This volume serves as a landmark document in entomology and agricultural science, offering detailed observations on the life cycles of both the pest and its controllers. It explores the practical applications of parasitic intervention, illustrating the intricate balance of island ecosystems and the potential for scientific inquiry to solve urgent economic problems. With its focus on field research, data collection, and environmental management, the work remains a vital historical reference for scholars of tropical agriculture, entomologists, and those interested in the history of sustainable agricultural practices.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
