M.E. Rogers, M.M. Dewdney, and S.H. Futch2
The following are lists of products which are registered for use on citrus regardless of whether or not they are recommended for use. In cases where there are many similar products such as copper fungicides, sulfurs, or petroleum oils, separate tables have been set up for each. All other products are listed in Table 4 and grouped according to use: (1) insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides; (2) fungicides; (3) herbicides; and (4) other products such as plant growth regulators and fumigants.
READ THE LABEL.
