Plant and animal protection

Crops and animals are always prone to vermin, pests and diseases. Attempts to protect them constitute, therefore, long established practices. Films are an interesting source that document the changing methods of plant and animal protection in agriculture. They often illustrate the applied procedures that range from manual weeding by women, farm labourers, farmers and children to the mechanical abatements (often performed with the help of working animals) and the application of pesticides.
