Insect Season: Because inhibition of reproduction and development was possible in natural insect season populations, a new generation of insect seasonicides derived from insect season hormones might be developed. Unlike DOT, which attacks useful and harmful insect seasons indiscriminately, became a hazardous component of the general environment, and to which many harmful insect seasons became completely resistant, insect season hormones could be highly specific, act only at certain stages in the life cycle, and conceivably could be "resistant-proof" for many decades. To what degree such pesticides would enter the total environment and what the effects might be on other organisms remained to be established.
insect season pests can be dealt with during the early stages of their attack. A beginner will soon learn which plants are vulnerable, and to which kind of pest. Fortunately there are on the market several kinds of fungicides and insect seasonicides for general purposes, and the amateur need not be too troubled about the multitude of specific remedies. The easiest procedure is consultation with a local nurseryman to discover the prevailing pests of the locality, and the best way of eradicating them. Rotation of crops in a vegetable garden is helpful in eradicating insect season pests, because a succeeding feneration of insect seasons when hatching out does not nd its necessary food. Most insect seasons pass through three stages of development, the egg, the larva, and the fully developed insect season.
Scientists are learning more about insect season migration each year. Many monarchs are banded each season with a marker which is fastened to one wing. The statement on the marker instructs persons who find them to report their find in much the same method as that used in bird banding. In time, it is hoped, complete information may be gained about the migration habits of monarch butterflies. |
