Book Description
Excerpt from Harvesting Pyrethrum The machine must also be so designed that it is adaptable to the system of planting usually followed, especially with respect to the distance between the rows. The wheels of the machine must not run on the harvested rows because the plants will be damaged. Once a machine is available the spacing of the rows in plantings made there after should of course be such that the best performance may be secured. Pyrethrum prefers light, well-drained ground and is usually grown on sandy soil types on which difficulty in securing proper trac tion may be experienced. Moreover, under irrigation the plants are grown on ridges with irrigation furrows midway between the rows. These various conditions must be taken into consideration if the machine is to be practical under as many conditions as possible.

Book Description
Pyrethrum Is Regarded As A Section Of The Genus Chrysanthemum, Family Compositae. Besides Their Ornamental Importance, Pyrethrum Flowers Have Been Widely Used As A Source Material For Preparation Of Insecticides. Being Non-Poisonous To Man Pyrethrum Is Particularly Adapted For Controlling Household Insects, However Its Use For Preparing Horticultural Dusts And Sprays, And Livestock Sprays Is No Less Popular. With A Brief Introduction To The Cultivation And Harvesting Of Different Varieties Of Pyrethrum, This Book Is A Valuable Source Of All The Necessary Scientific Information Related To Evaluation Of Pyrethrum (By Chemical As Well As Biological Methods) And Manufacturing Of Various Pyrethrum Products- Powder, Extracts And Sprays, Etc. Also Discussed Are The Effects Of Storage, Light And Heat On Pyrethrum Products, And The Methods Of Detecting Adulteration Of Pyrethrum. There Are 100 Tables Of Scientific Data, Numerous Illustration, An Exhaustive Index And An Extensive List Of About 1000 Reference For Further Information.

Book Description
Interest in these plants, in addition to their effectiveness against numerous pests, is also because commercial pyrethrum and rotenone insecticides derived from these plants are also comparatively nontoxic to man and other warm-blooded animals. They may be used with safety in the household, for livestock dips and sprays, and on garden vegetables, fruits and canning crops.

Book Description
For over 160 years, pyrethrum has been safely and effectively used as a pesticide the world over. The flowers of this daisy, which contain a mixture of pleasant-smelling esters called the pyrethrins, have highly unusual insecticidal properties. Unique in their ability to repel most insect pests while posing virtually no threat to the environment, pyrethrins have been the subject of great interest to a wide variety of scientists. This book presents for the first time in over twenty years an in-depth look at the many issues surrounding the use of pyrethrins. John E. Casida, a world-renowned authority on the subject, has assembled a group of distinguished contributors to discuss topics ranging from the relationship between pyrethrum and synthetic pyrethroids to cultivation to metabolism to mammalian and environmental toxicology. Along the way, the history of pyrethrum flowers and pyrethrins, the chemistry of active pyrethrin ingredients, the mode of action and resistance, the control of pests, and residues and tolerances are also expertly treated. As safety aspects of pesticides are reevaluated with regard to current regulatory, social, and political implications, pyrethrum has increasingly been seen as the prototype for safe, natural pesticides. Engaging and profusely illustrated, Pyrethrum Flowers is the perfect introduction to the most important natural botanical pesticide. It will appeal to all scientists concerned with pesticides, including botanists, geneticists, biochemists, entomologists, and ecologists.
