Pesticide Options for Important Insect, Mite, and Mollusk Pests of Commercial Flowers in Florida1
James F. Price and Curtis Nagle2
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 table in this document lists pesticides, most of whose labels provide for use on any “ornamental” or “flower” crop; however, some product labels permit use on named flower or ornamental crops only. Therefore, it is helpful to consult electronic versions of specimen labels that are usually available at the websites of CDMS (http://www.cdms.net/manuf/default.asp), C&P Press (http://www.greenbook.net/), or the affiliated manufacturer. The table also indicates the permitted production site, either greenhouse (G) or field or shade house (F). Usually just a few or only one example of an active ingredient’s formulation is given; however, there may be other products as effective as those listed. The table is organized alphabetically by active ingredient within each of the following major pest groups:
Aphids
Armyworms
Caterpillars
Beetles (including weevils)
Fungus gnats
Leafhoppers
Leafminers
Mealybugs
Mites
Plant (Lygus) bugs & fleahoppers
Shore flies
Slugs & snails
Thrips
Whiteflies
The product label communicates the lawful use of the product and must be read, understood, and followed. The label contains important limitations that are not presented here, and it remains the pesticide applicator’s legal responsibility to read and follow all label instructions that accompany the pesticide container. 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, the telephone number and address of the nearest county poison control center must be kept in a convenient location in case of an accidental poisoning; also, copies of all pesticide labels on the production premises must be available. In the event of a poisoning, the label of the pesticide involved should accompany the victim to the poison control center or hospital.

Footnotes: 1 “F” indicates field, including shade house, production. “G” indicates greenhouse production. 2 Usually only one or a few examples of an active ingredient’s formulation is given; however, there may be other products as effective as those listed. 3 Labeled for Liriomyza leafminers only. 4 Liriomyza trifolii leafminers have become resistant to organophosphate and pyrethroid insecticides. Infrequent use may be effective, but repeated use may be ineffective, depending on the history of the target population. 5 Labeled for Liriomyza and boxwood leafminers. 6 Labeled for boxwood and azalea leafminers. 7 Labeled for dipterous leafminers only. 8 Labeled for lepidopterous leafminers only. 9 Labeled for Liriomyza and lepidopterous leafminers. 10 Labeled for boxwood leafminer, a dipterous leafminer. 11 Labeled for the magnolia leafminer, a lepidopterous leafminer. 12 Labeled for spotted tentiform leafminer, a lepidopterous leafminer. 13 Labeled for tarsonemid mites, such as broad & cyclamen mites. 14 Labeled for eriophyid mites, such as bud, gall and rust mites. 15 Labeled for tetranychid mites, such as twospotted spider mite. 16 Labeled for tenuipalpid mites such as false spider mites. 17 The combination of acephate with a pyrethroid, such as fenpropathrin, has resulted in synergistic effects on whitefly mortality. |
