New Vegetable Insecticides for 2009

Joanne Whalen, Extension IPM Specialist; jwhalen@udel.edu

We have received a number of new insecticide registrations for the 2009 season. Be sure to check the label for labeled crops, labeled crops within a crop grouping, use rates and restrictions. In addition, you should also check the Delaware Department of Agriculture’s website to be sure these materials are labeled in Delaware (to use a material it must have both a state and federal label) http://www.kellysolutions.com/de/pesticideindex.htm
