Expts. indicate that some of our major insect pests thrive better, live longer and produce more offspring on an inferior diet or one low in certain soil minerals. These can be reached and controlled by a proper rebuilding of high levels of soil fertility through the use of fertilizers and improved cropping programs.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
