The New Insecticides: These products offer more control with lower toxicity

摘要

The world of pest management in the landscape industry is one that has changed dramatically over the past 10 years. The marketplace has become much more competitive as the demand for products that provide the highest level of results increases. At thesame time, the demand for more environmentally safe means of pest management continues to increase and in some areas, the regulatory and societal pressure to do so is very high. The industry that produces these products has shown a strong commitment toproviding effective products that are generally of lower toxicity and designed for lower use rates. This has been good news for our industry during a time when it appears that we are continually under fire for the use of conventional pesticides to maintain landscapes.
