Alfred H. Baumhover Papers. Special Collections, USDA National Agricultural Library.
Alfred H. Baumhover (b. 1921), an entomologist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), is known for his contributions to the screwworm eradication programs of the 1950s and 1960s. He began his career in 1949 in the USDA Grasshopper Control Division and worked with Raymond Bushland in Texas studying agricultural pests. Bushland and Edward F. Knipling were preparing to begin field experimentation on their sterile insect technique for biological control of screwworm infestation. Baumhover became the lead field agent of these experiments. In 1954, he led the program in Curacao that eradicated screwworms from the island. For this work, he was knighted by Queen Juliana of the Netherlands. Baumhover also worked with the screwworm eradication programs in the Southeast and Southwest United States. Although he continued to advise the screwworm program throughout his career, Baumhover worked primarily with tobacco insect research from 1963 until his retirement.
The papers were donated to Special Collections, USDA National Agricultural Library, on November 25, 2002.
