CHAPTER VII 

 FRUIT PESTS 



THERE are few sections where fruit may be grown without 

 protection from insects and diseases. Each year new 

 pests appear and the older a fruit section becomes the 

 more numerous are its insects and diseases. 



INSECT PESTS 



From a horticultural standpoint, the insects with which 

 a fruit grower has to contend may all be grouped under 

 two heads, the chewing insects and the sucking insects.
