| Abstract/Contents: | "Aphids are serious pests that attack many of our food crops and ornamentals. Control of these pests is important to keep plants healthy, to prevent the spread of disease, and to eliminate the sticky honeydew they excrete. . . . Insecticidal soaps work very well when sprayed directly on the aphids. The soaps dessicate and smother the soft aphid bodies. These products only control the insects that are sprayed however, so there is no residual activity. . . . In park and golf course plantings spraying may be undesirable due to the constant presence of people in the area. Tree injections are a viable alternative in these situations. Injections will not disrupt beneficial insects or wildlife present in the tree either. There is also no problem with spray drift from this type of application. . . . We have been injecting trees for twenty years or so now and feel that injections are an option worth considering." |
