| Abstract/Contents: | States that "the green industry...has undergone many changes, including the ownership of pesticide companies and distribution techniques; but the change most likely to have the greatest impact on the day-to-day operation of businesses is the introduction of new pesticide products." Mentions that diazinon and Dursban...have been used successfully for decades. They were inexpensive, easy to apply and controlled a wide range of insect pests." Profiles synthetic pyrethroids, including Astro (permethrin), DeltaGard (deltamethrin), Scimitar (lambda-cychalothrin), Talsar (bifenthrin), and Tempo (cyfluthrin). States that "when first developed, the synthetic pyrethroids were thought to have a much lower amount of mammalian toxicity than their organophosphate predecessors, diazinon and Dursban. However, as this class of insecticides was further refined and enhanced, the oral LD 50 rating declined (...the lower the LD 50, the more toxic the material)." Also profiles horticultural oils and insecticidal soaps, Merit, MACH 2, Conserve SC, and Chipco Choice. Concludes that "no matter which insecticide [one chooses], whether it's new or existing chemistry, the hallmarks of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) - right plant, right place; good cultural practices; use of resistant varieties; scouting; economic thresholds; and proper timing of control measures - are still the way to go in terms of [an] overall pest management system." |
