Introduction

Please note, this list may not cite all chemical and common names of pesticides legally registered at the present time. This list does not constitute endorsement of any pesticide chemical named; these pesticides may be available under other names locally. Some pesticides (i.e., Resticted Use Pesticides) require a license in order to buy and/or apply. Always follow the pesticide label instructions. Please note the superscript adjacent to some brand names. Some pesticides are for 1) non-bearing trees only; 2) non-bearing trees in the nursery only and; 3) for use on dormant trees only. Please contact your local Agriculture or Horticulture Extension Agent if you have any questions.
