In recent years, there have been a number of new insecticides introduced to the marketplace that combine 2 active ingredients. As we enter the time for spraying multiple pests on various crops, the following is a list of some of the products that I am aware of. Some products are labeled on a narrow range of crops and others on a more expanded list. This is by no means a complete list, but just some of the materials that we have received notice about from the manufactures. We also have little or no experience with these products but will be testing a few in our 2008 trials. You will need to refer to the labels for labeled crops, use rates and restrictions.
