Effective arthropod pest management in commercial floral crops requires that pests be detected in a timely manner through systematic scouting and that appropriate control measures be applied as conditions warrant. Control measures may include economical combinations of cultural controls (such as disposal of crop residue, reducing unnecessary water in the production environment, selection of less affected varieties and species, etc.), physical controls (such as screen barriers, hot water treatments of certain planting stock, hand removal of pests, etc.), biological controls (such as release of beneficial parasites, predators, and pathogens to attack the pests) and chemical controls. This insect control guide is a summary of chemical control measures that are presently available to commercial flower producers in Florida and includes beneficial nematode and microbial insecticides that also are components of biological control.
The tables in this document list pesticides whose labels provide for the product's use on any “ornamental” or “flower” crop. Products whose label permits use on named flower or ornamental crops only are not summarized here but may appear in other EDIS publications relating to pest management in those specific crops. Tables also indicate the permitted production site, either greenhouse (G) or field or shade house (F) as well as notes taken from the labels to qualify some uses. Usually only one example of each formulation is given; however, there may be other products as effective as those listed. The tables are organized alphabetically by active ingredient and address the following major pest groups:
Armyworms (see also Caterpillars)
Caterpillars (see also: Armyworms,
Heliothis & Helicoverpa,
Leafrollers & Leaftiers, Loopers)
Heliothis & Helicoverpa (see also Caterpillars)
Leafrollers & Leaftiers (see also Caterpillars)
Loopers (see also Caterpillars)
Mites, False Spider (privet mites)
Precautionary statements, re-entry intervals (REI), restricted use status, and registrants are provided 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 the pesticides. When available, label hyperlinks are provided in the electronic forms of that document.
The product label communicates the lawful use of the product and must be read, understood and followed. The label contains important limitations that may not be presented in these tables. When using a pesticide for the first time, it is important to apply the product first to a small portion of the crop and wait to observe possible detrimental effects, such as leaf distortion and plant stunting.
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 between 6.5 and 7.
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, 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 on your premises. In the event of a poisoning, the label of the pesticide involved should accompany the victim to the poison control center or hospital.

Phytotoxicity has been observed on salvia (Salvia spp.), ghost plant (Graptopetalum paraguayense), schefflera (Schefflera spp.), gardenia (Gardenia spp.), and coral bells (Heuchera sanguinea). It is therefore recommended that Distance not be used on these plants. Do not apply to poinsettia after bract formation. |
