It will soon be that time of year again, when Japanese beetle adults begin to fly!
However, the cooler spring means pupation may take longer. So what does that mean for timing of control products?
This post answers those questions and provides current infographics for JB control for those exporting to non-JB areas.

A new pesticide is available for greenhouse ornamental production in Canada that has shown potential for effective suppression of difficult-to-control thrips and whitefly species.
But to keep this new tool effective, growers will have to use this chemical wisely. Keep reading for efficacy data on ornamental crops and best management practices for incorporating this chemical into your IPM toolbox.

It will soon be that time of year again, when Japanese beetle adults begin to fly. However, the cooler spring means pupation may take longer. So what does that mean for timing of control products?
This post answers those questions and provides updated infographics for JB control for those exporting to non-JB areas.
Efficacy trials are key to keeping growers informed about which chemicals currently work and which don’t for Bemisia whitefly.
Entomologists at the University of Maryland and Delaware recently did such a study, and included newer pesticide registrations. If you missed the article in the July issue of Grower Talks magazine, keep reading for the link to their results and a Canadian take on the study.

It’s almost that time of year again – time for Japanese beetles to begin their flight and make exporting ornamental plants from Ontario more difficult.
But this year, we have a new biological insecticide is available for managing both the larval and adult stages of Japanese Beetle.
Read more on it’s use and availability.

It seems there is never a dull moment in the greenhouse ornamental industry these days. From transitions to new crops, new export requirements, to novel pest problems, the industry has seen a lot of change….and it’s not over yet.
The industry is also going to be facing changes regarding some commonly used chemical products. Here is the latest on potential revisions to the list of chemical tools we have access to in Canadian floriculture.
This is guest post was written by Cary Gates, Pest Management Director at Flowers Canada Growers.
Ever needed just to quickly look up a rate for a particular pesticide, or see if it’s compatible with your bio program, only to get lost on Google or get frustrated by the numerous tables in Pub 370? Well, me too.
Read on for resources to make accessing pesticide information quicker and easier for Ontario’s floriculture sector.
These include a new mobile app for ALL registered pesticides, as well as a downloadable spreadsheet you can tailor to your needs.
