Insect and Mite Management Suggestions for Commercial Poinsettia Production ¹

James F. Price, Curtis Nagle and Elzie McCord, Jr.²

The vibrant red, pink, white or variegated poinsettia is synonymous with Christmas, and greenhouse, shade house and open field nurseries produce them to coincide with the Thanksgiving to Christmas holiday season. Consumers enjoy poinsettias as hanging baskets, 4 to 8-inch pots and as chest high, single-stem trees, although multiple stem plants in 6-inch pots account for greatest sales. Regardless of growth type, poinsettias add seasonal essence to homes, shopping malls, churches and businesses.

Twenty-nine major farms produced 12.4 million pots of poinsettias in Florida during 2007 wholesale valued at $36.5 million. These were sold in the southeastern U.S.

Important arthropod pests include silverleaf whitefly, fungus gnats, and several others throughout the state. The poinsettia hornworm, or ello moth, is notably important in south Florida.

Table 1 lists the chemical control measures that are presently available to commercial poinsettia producers in Florida and includes beneficial nematodes and microbial insectiicdes, components of biological control. The arthropod pest groups most likely to damage poinsettia are presented alphabeticallly as section headings as follows:

Armyworms (see also Caterpillars)
Caterpillars (see also Armyworms and Poinsettia Hornworm)
Fungus Gnats
Mealybugs
Poinsettia Hornworm (see also Caterpillars)
Scales
Shore Flies
Slugs & Snails
Spider Mites
Thrips
Whiteflies

For each pest presented, products available for its control are organized by common chemical name of the pesticide product's active ingredient (a.i.). Usually only one or a few examples of each formulation is given; however, there may be other products as effective as those listed. The products' permitted use sites (field or greenhouse) as well as notes taken from labels are provided to qualify some uses.

Precautionary statements, re-entry intervals, restricted use status, and registrants are available in a separate publication, Insecticides, Miticides & Molluscicides Available to Florida's Floricultural Industry (ENY-679) (http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/IN472), to aid in the selection and safe use of appropriate pesticides. More detailed information about a pesticide product should be sought on a current specimen label. Electronic versions of specimen labels are usually available at the Web sites of CDMS (http://www.cdms.net/manuf/default.asp), C&P Press (http://www.greenbook.net/) or the affiliated manufacturer.

Many pesticides decompose in the spray tank when mixed with water above pH 7. Growers should test the pH of their water and, when above 7, should add a buffering solution to maintain pH in the 6.5 to 7 range.

This summary is only a guide to aid in selection of pesticides. Care has been given to provide accurate and up-to-date information, but it is possible that through label changes, errors, etc., improper uses may be indicated. In all cases it is the responsibility of the applicator to read, understand, and comply with the label that accompanies each pesticide container.

As an additional precaution, keep the telephone number and address of the nearest county poison control center in a convenient location in case of an accidental poisoning. Also, keep clean copies of labels of all pesticides that are on the premises. In the event of a poisoning, the label of the pesticide involved should be taken to the poison control center or hospital.

Do not use in combination with or immediately before or after spraying with fungicides such as Captan, Folpet, oxythioquinox (Morestan) or any product containing sulfur. Also do not use with carbaryl (Sevin) or dimethoate (Cygon). Do not use with any product whose label recommends the use of no oils. Do not use in combination with NPK foliar fertilizer applications.
Refined petroleum distillate	Ultra-Fine Oil	F, G	Leafrollers, leaftiers; in field, caution: Spray no more than four consecutive sprays. The frequency of consecutive sprays should not exceed once every 2 weeks. Early morning applications are recommended. For greenhouse pests listed, use once a week initially, then, as the pest is controlled, decrease the frequency to every 2-3 weeks as needed. Do not tank mix with insecticide or miticide whose label indicates that it should not be used with oil. Do not use with captan, chlorothalonil, dimethoate, methiocarb, oxythioquinox, propargite, or any product containing sulfur.

If Conserve SC is used for leafminers, spider mites and/or diamondback moth control do not apply more than six times in a 12 month period inside a greenhouse or a structure that can be altered to be closed or open. For areas of commercial production of herbaceous ornamentals in nurseries, including plant propagation beds, do not apply more than 10 times in a 12 month period per crop regardless of the pest being treated (excluding leafminers, spider mites and/or diamondback moths); if Conserve SC is used for leafminers, spider mites and/or diamondback moth control do not apply more than six times in a 12 month period per crop regardless if other insect pests are also being treated. Because generations of a specific pest may overlap, rotate control products and never apply more than three consecutive applications of Conserve SC or products containing the same active ingredient or having the same mode of action. Except for greenhouses and structures that can be altered to be closed or open, do not reapply within less than 7 days.
Steinernema carpocapsae	Millenium	F, G	Cutworms; sod webworms; tropical sod webworms; banana moths; see label for precautions on compatibility with other pesticides.
