Integrated Pest Management and Pesticides Bruce P. Alber, CF Wilbur-Ellis Company balber@ Pesticide definition A product that prevents, destroys, repels, or mitigates a pest (FIFRA) Christmas tree pesticides Herbicides Fungicides Insecticides Rodenticides Deer Repellants How will you spray? Calibration is critical How many gallons of mix per acre? Constant walking speed, spray pressure, nozzle type Different people walk different speeds Careful calculation of pesticide per gallon of water depends upon calibration Calibration is critical Proper pesticide rate per acre = Enough product to control the pest Too much product can damage trees and waste money Too much product is illegal Not enough product wastes money, doesn’t kill the pest, can cause weed escapes Pesticide use: IPM Correctly identify the pest Is the pest population above a level of damage concern? Can an early treatment stop the population reduce the need for repeated applications? Is the pest life cycle at the succeptable time to treat? Don’t spray by the calendar! Are you a licensed applicator? - necessary for purchase application of Restricted Use Pesticides Choosing a Christmas tree pesticide Always read and follow all label directions There must be specific recommendations for the site: Christmas trees Conifer plantations? Not forestry (Oust XP) Not non-crop Modes of Action questions Why does one pesticide control some species but not others? You can tank mix some pesticides Two or more herbicides in a tank Mix an insecticide + a fungicide Herbicide activity types Foliar spray: what stage of plant growth is best for control? Early leaf, bud stage, full extension, late summer? Soil active spray: prevent weed seed germination Soil Active Herbicides: Conifers Plant selectivity Physical selectivity: Soil active – solubility, soil adsorption breakdown half life Herbicide location in soil vs. plant roots Growth stage selectivity: Weeds actively growing? Seedling weeds? Conifer
