Cross-commodity Guidelines for Neonicotinoid Insecticides in Arizona

John Palumbo, Peter Ellsworth, Timothy Dennehy and, Robert Nichols (May, 2003)

Summary

The goal of this publication is to outline some commonsense guidelines that take into account the use patterns of neonicotinoids for whitefly control and the cropping communities in which they will be used. The objective of these guidelines is to optimize frequency of insecticide use (e.g., number of applications / season or year) to avoid sequential exposure of multiple generations of whiteflies across commodities.
