Published in 1950 and long a standard reference for anyone studying crop pests in the Indonesian archipelago, this large volume surveys the insects, mites and other animals that damage cultivated plants in the region. Each crop is treated in turn, covering the pests that attack it, the harm they cause, and how their life cycles and habits shape the methods used to control them. The author, an entomologist working in the Dutch East Indies, gathered field observations and the scattered literature of his time into a single work meant for researchers, agricultural officers and planters. Its many illustrations and detailed accounts make it a foundational text for anyone interested in tropical agriculture and pest control.
