Scales and Other Sucking Insect Pests of Trees and Shrubs
In this program I will provide an overview of sucking insect pest biology and life history. We will discuss Integrated Pest Management (IPM) philosophies that will guide your management approach and enable you to identify and build prescriptions for problematic pests. We will cover pesticide selection, points of intervention, monitoring, and application approach.
