Descripción
Sumario:Different forms of control for agricultural plagues, used and recommended by agronomists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, are described in this study, which is based on documents of the old “Secretaría de Fomento” (Office of Lands Development). Four forms of biological, cultural, chemical and mixed or integrated controls were identified. These control procedures are based mainly on knowledge of the interaction between plants and animal, and have shown themselves to be sustainable for peasant agriculture, but demanding a heavy human work input or limited extensions of farming.
