“农业科学通讯”1957年第1期刊载汤博文同志“对防治粘虫的意见”一文对拙著“粘虫”等三文有关防治方面的问题提出一些意见。我们衷心的欢迎汤同志对这方面的关心。应该承认目前我们对于粘虫的研究还不够,很多问题正在探索研究中,所以在我们所发表的对粘虫的介绍的文章里,不可避免的存在着一些不恰当或错误的地方。我们希望汤同志的文章能成为国内讨论粘虫问题的开端,渴望国内各地有经验的同志共同商讨,来修正、补充我们的认 “Agricultural Science News ” 1957 No. 1 Comrade Tang Bowen “Opinions on the prevention and control of armyworms ” a text on my clumsy “MythimnaSmile ” and other three issues related to prevention and control put forward some opinions. We sincerely welcome Comrade Tang’s concern in this regard. It should be admitted that at present we have not done enough research on armyworm and many problems are being explored. Therefore, there are inevitably some inappropriate or wrong places in our published article about the armyworm. We hope that Comrade Tang’s article will become the beginning of a discussion on the issue of armyworms in our country and we would like all our country’s experienced comrades to discuss together to amend and supplement our acknowledgment
