Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines nicotine's use as an insecticide from 1885 to 1934. It begins by recounting the use of tobacco and nicotine by farmers since the 1600s, the development of proprietary insecticides in the late 1800s, and the emergence of nicotine-based commercial products in the early 1900s. The author focuses on the scientific research conducted during this period, which led to nicotine's widespread adoption as an effective and versatile insecticide.
