Chemical Control

Tractor_lrgEach year, our lab conducts field trials of registered insecticides and new experimental products aimed at determining minimum effective usage rates for these products while maintaining pest levels below economic thresholds. Refer to the most recent revision of the University of Wisconsin-Extension publication Commercial Vegetable Production in Wisconsin (A3422) for a list of registered insecticides and recommended application rates by crop.
