Preface
This pest control guide was a project of the Southern Nursery IPM Working Group (SNIPM) and collaborators. In it, you will find up to date information about pest control products used in nursery crops, greenhouse crops and ornamental landscape plantings. This publication supplements the more comprehensive integrated pest management (IPM) manuals for trees and shrubs available for download from the SNIPM web site, The information provided in this publication is, as much as possible, up to date at the time of publication. However, product registrations can differ between states and labels can change. Thus, this information is intended as a guide to aid in pest control decision-making and not a substitute for reading and following the directions and guidelines on the pesticide label.
